Shavuot: An Overview

Great talk. Thank you.
Why then do we say Zman matan toroseinu on the 2nd day of shavuos which technically is not the day we received the torah? Reply

bringing in early I believe Shavuos is the one Yom Tov we can NOT bring in early because we have to have finished our 49 days completely.

I wonder why there is a second day of Shavuos outside of Israel if it always went according to the count - if people knew when Pesach was then they would know for sure when 49 days was later; there was no need to get the news from Jerusalem... Reply
