The Jewish Chronicle - Ezekiel's Shavuot mystery tour:
But compare this with the Torah’s account of the revelation on Sinai, a unique and unprecedented event. The Torah may be God’s greatest gift to the Jewish people but it is not followed with any grand celebration. There is no verse that says — unlike Solomon, after he dedicated the Temple —“And Moses made a great feast for the people”. The Bible does not even dedicate Shavuot to this epiphany. It is the rabbis who transformed an agricultural thanksgiving festival into a commemoration of the receipt of the Torah.
