I recvieved some well placed mussar from a non-jewish coworker who asked me why I wouldnt be in the following Monday
I replied Along the lines of” Oh its one of our minor holidays, you probably never heard of it” she asked for deatils saying “well if IVe never heard of it, all the more reason for you to tell me about it”
so I said “Its the day God gave us the bible”
she was astonished “thats not minor at all!”
(To be clear I didnt mean to down play Shavuous ch”v I meant minor in the sense that it wasnt as well known as some of our others like Pesach, Chanukah, rosh Hashanah, yom Kippur which most quasi educated people ahve heard of.)
