• Sivan 12 (June 19, 2024) Birchas Avraham Yahrtzeit, End of Shavuot "fulfillment" days - When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, and all Jews would come there for the three annual "pilgrimage festivals" (Passover, Shavuos, and Sukkos), Sivan 12 was the last of the seven days allotted for the offerings brought in conjunction with the Shavuot pilgrimage (unlike the festivals of Passover and Sukkot, which have seven biblically mandated days, Shavuot consists only of one day; hence the additional six days of tashlumin or "fulfillment"). Thus, we do not recite the tachnun (confession and penitential supplication) and the other prayers omitted on a festival or joyous commemoration from the 1st of Sivan until and including the 12th, as all these days bear a connection with the celebration of Shavuos.
