Hi, thanks for using Hebcal!

The date May 26, 2023 is a Friday (not Saturday).


On our Parashat ha-Shavua by Hebrew year - Israel - 5783 web page, the following information is displayed:

Shavuot / שָׁבוּעוֹת

Friday, May 26, 2023 · 6 Sivan

Exodus 19:1-20:23; Numbers 28:26-31

Haftarah: Ezekiel 1:1-28, 3:12


This information is accurate. Shavuot for Hebrew Year 5783 begins in Israel at sundown on Thursday, 25 May 2023 and ends at nightfall on Friday, 26 May 2023.


The Torah reading for Shavuot is during the daytime, so it is read on Friday, May 26, 2023, which corresponds to the 6th of Sivan.

On our Parashat ha-Shavua by Hebrew year - Diaspora - 5783 web page, the following information is displayed:

Does this answer your question?

Traditionally on Hebrew Calendar we place the Pharisee date of the month that each year falls in 6 Sivan for the event, we do not place the biblical day of the week that falls in morrow after Sabbath. The Pharisee did search for another meaning of "Sabbath" as a day when we do not do obedient work like 15 Aviv and maybe this applies also to the 50th day witch falls in same day of the week as the 1st.
