Isru Chag/Bind the Festival
The 8th of Sivan (9th Sivan outside of Israel, and acknowledged this year in the States on May 21, 2010) Isru Chag/Bind the Festival.
The day following the three pilgrim festivals (Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot) is known as Isru Chag (bind the festival), with reference to Tehillim 118:27 (psalms.) It is observed as a semi-festive day. In Temple times, Isru Chag was the day when the pilgrims left Yerushalayim for their homes. According to a Talmudic statement, he who observes Isru Chag as a festive day with eating and drinking is as if he offered sacrifices upon the Mizbeach (Altar).
