Shavuot – Remembering the Commandments

Shavuot is when Jewish people remember receiving the Ten Commandments.

The commandments remind people how to live a good life:

Be respectful
Be honest
Be kind
Be thankful

This celebration helps people remember what really matters.

Reflection:
Think quietly: Why is it important to remember rules and values?

Discussion:
Talk with a partner: Which commandment still matters most today—and why?

Article 14 – Freedom of thought, belief and religion
Children have the right to follow their own beliefs and take part in religious celebrations, such as Shavuot.
Article 29 – Goals of education
Education should help children learn values like respect, kindness, and understanding others—just like the lessons in the Ten Commandments.
