Ultra Orthodox children wear Torrah crowns at their kindergarten at Mea Shearim neighborhood in Jerusalem 31 May 2006 during celebration of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Shavuot, one of Judaism's three pilgrimage festivals (along with Passover and Sukkot), will take place this year between sunset on 01 June, and sunset on 02 June. Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai, seven weeks after the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt. Indeed, Shavuot literally means "weeks" and is celebrated exactly seven weeks after the first day of Passover, which marks the exodus itself.

A picture of Ilan Halimi is seen at a makeshift memorial, on February 13, 2019 in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois, after a ceremony in his tribute, two days after two trees planted in memory of the 23-year-old Jewish man abducted and killed over a decade ago, have been found vandalised. - Ilan Halimi was kidnapped by a gang that demanded huge sums of money from his family, believing them to be rich because he was Jewish. After being tortured for three weeks, the 23-year-old cellphone salesman was found dumped next to a railway in the southern suburb of Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois. He died while being brought to hospital. (Photo by Bertrand GUAY / AFP) (Photo credit should read BERTRAND GUAY/AFP via Getty Images)
