Machshava:

Shavuot 

Description

The holiday of Shavuot has several names each reflecting a different aspect of the holiday. However, one common name seems to have no relevance today, Chag Habikurim/the holiday of the first fruit. How is bringing the first fruit to a Beit Hamikdosh that no longer exists relevant today, and why are the bikurim associated with Shavuot? Further, if the purpose of the holidays is to forge a connection between Hashem and Bnei Yisroel, why is Shavuot mandated by Torah as only one day while the other two holidays are seven days each?
