What Do You Say On Shavuot The Jewish Holiday As A Greeting And Blessing

1. "Chag Sameach!"
This means "Happy Holiday!" and is a common greeting for all Jewish holidays.
2. "Zman Matan Torateinu"
This means "the time of the giving of our Torah" and is a traditional blessing that acknowledges the significance of the holiday.
3. "Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech HaOlam, Shehecheyanu, V'kiyemanu, V'higiyanu Lazman Hazeh"
This is a blessing that is said on many Jewish holidays, including Shavuot. It means "Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season."
4. "Chag Shavuot Sameach"
This means "Happy Shavuot Holiday" and is a more specific greeting for the holiday.
In addition to these greetings and blessings, it is also traditional to study Torah on Shavuot, particularly during the night of the holiday in a practice known as Tikkun Leil Shavuot.
