To commemorate the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, which celebrates God giving Moses the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, the Hostage and Missing Families Forum (a volunteer organization founded by relatives of Gaza abductees) has created a cookbook called “The Five “Desire”.
This year Pentecost begins on the evening of Tuesday, June 11, 2024, and continues until Thursday, June 13, 2024.
The opening of “Longing Pentecost” expresses the pain the family is enduring during another holiday without their loved ones.

During Shavuot, houses and synagogues are decorated with flowers.
It is a holiday custom to stay up all night studying the Torah, especially the Book of Ruth, and to read the Ten Commandments in the morning.
All recipes are meat-free.
Forum volunteer and cookbook author Lir Alter said another Shavuot custom is eating dairy products.

None of the recipes are meat-free, and many are Middle Eastern-inspired, such as Negev tomato and pepper soup and Moroccan biscuits.
