1.      From the 1^st till and including the 12^th day of the months, Techinot are not read.

2.      On the Shabbat before Shavuot, after the Kaddish Titkabal before the Parashah the Chazzan recites the שלוש פעמים (Tefillot, page 227) and adds the Mi Shebeirach with offertas (כפי ערך הקצוב) for the festivals.
After Arvit Shabbat conclusion, “שובה” is skipped, staring with “אורך ימים”. The word ששת is left out from the Havdalah.

3.      If Shavuot is Monday or Tuesday then on Shabbat before the festival, after assigning the Mitzvot (honors) the chazzan announces “Estas Mitswoth severem tambem para esta tarde e o fin da semana” (the assignment is also for this afternoon and the rest of the week). For Shavuot itself, other assignments are made.

4.      If Shavuot is on Friday & Shabbat:

a.      The Chazzan reminds on Wednesday to make ערוב (“Vosses tens obrigação de fazar ngerub”). This should be done on after Minchah, but if there is no service, it is better to announce it on the preceding Shabbat.

b.     On Thursday night before the Amidah the Chazzan announces that “Os senhores que não fizerão ngerub se assufirão sobor o Senhor Dajan” (Gentlemen who do not make Eruv will rely on Mr. Dayan). 

c.      As the second day of Shavuot is on Sunday, before the Amidah Shabbat conclusion the Chazzan announces “Dirão vosses na Amidah o verso Watodienoe y hisistes nos saber” Your will say the verse Vatodinu you let us know.

5.      For prayers on Shavuot, see pages on Regalim.

6.      In the first night of Shavuot, a Limud is held.

7.   On the 2^th day, the last Kaddish of Minchah is sung in the special melody

8.      Shavuot conclusion the Chazzan reminds to say אתה חוננתנו “Dirão vosses a Amidah de saliente de Sabbat“, and after the Tefillah to make הבדלה over a cup only “Dirão vosses a habdala sobre ó vaso“.

9.  Isru Chag: Tefilah as usual, but after קדיש תתקבל (page 74) ברוך הבא (page 158) is sung, replacing בית יעקב (page 76). If there is Torah reading, this is sung by the chazzan when returning the Sefer, in front of the Heichal.
