    Shavuot is a holiday with a double celebration. Falling in spring, Shavuot celebrates the bounty of the harvest and the first fruits of the season. More profoundly, Shavuot commemorates the gift of the Torah, the crystallization of the ancient relationship of the peoples of Israel with their God.
    Also i heard that they eat mainly dairy foods and maybe cheescake is just a really popular dairy food
