Karaites believe that this festival always falls on Sunday, and Isaac Luria developed a "Rectification" service for the evening of this holiday. The Haftarah portion for this festival's second day is taken from Habbakuk, while the portion for the first comes from Ezekiel. Because the Israelites overslept on this day's first occurance, it is customary to stay up all night reading and then pray first thing in the morning. The Aramaic poem Akdamut is read on this day, as is the Book of Ruth, and it is customary to eat only dairy foods. Also known as the Day of First Fruits, it marks the end of the seven weeks of the Omer and is the Jewish equivalent of Pentecost.
