Since the Torah is called reishit (ראשית, "first") the customs of Shavuot highlight the importance of custom for the continuation and preservation of Jewish religious observance.
Semenjak Taurat disebut reishit (ראשית, "awal"), adat-istiadat Shavuot mengutamakan pentingnya adat demi kelangsungan dan pemeliharaan peringatan keagamaat Yahudi.
