First Day of Shavuos Musaf, Meals, and Tahaluchah

Chabad.org Luach | June 27, 2025

Musaf

Say the Musaf for Shalosh Regalim, inserting the additions for Shavuos where appropriate. Where indicated, replace the word vesa’ir with ushnei se’irim.

The Kohanim duchen during chazaras hashatz. For details about Birchas Kohanim, see below, “Hosafos.”

Yom Tov Meal

For Kiddush, say Askinu, Eileh Moadei, and Borei Peri Hagafen. It is customary to eat milchigs on Shavuos. Since it is also a mitzvah to eat meat on Yom Tov, care must be taken to avoid the issur of basar bechalav.

Many are accustomed to make Kiddush, eat milchigs, make a berachah acharonah, wait an hour, and then wash for the fleishige Yom Tov meal.

The Rebbeim would both repeat a torah and relate a story of the Baal Shem Tov on Shavuos, and the Rebbe recommended chassidim adopting this practice.

Tahaluchah

We visit other shuls with the goal of increasing the simchas Yom Tov of the congregants, especially through repeating words of Torah, both nigleh and Chassidus.

“Tahaluchah is my shlichus!” (Sichah of 2 Sivan, 5728)
“With every step on tahaluchah, another angel is created.” (Sichah of Shavuos, 5728)

The Rebbe once explained that going on tahaluchah is especially related to Shavuos.

Hadlakas Neiros

Women and girls light candles after nightfall from a pre-existing flame, saying the berachos of Lehadlik Ner Shel Yom Tov and Shehecheyanu.

Musaf
