Question
Hello, Can the night of Shavuot (not in the Diaspora, but in Israel) fall on Friday night?
Answer
Hello,
The festival of Shavuot cannot fall on Shabbat.
[Since Shavuot is the 50th day from the 16th of Nisan, it always falls on the day of the week following the start of Passover. And since Passover cannot begin on a Friday, Shavuot will never fall on Shabbat].
