Shvuout starts on Saturday evening as shabbat ends.  We have our traditional dinner with friends on Shvuout, but that’s where our tradition ends.  Half the family with corona will be out of quarantine by Monday so we will celebrate Ezi’s birthday then, but for a beginning we”ll have dinner on the beach at sunset with the healthy half tonight.  The beach will save me from exploding over all the screwed up plans for the holidays.  My ideal shvuout would be to take all the grandchildren to a kibbutz where there is a parade of the first fruits.
