Eruv Tavshillin
An Eruv Tavshillin is done on Thursday, May 21. It allows us to make all necessary preparations on Friday, the first day of Shavuot, May 22, for the second day of Shavuot, Friday night and Shabbat (May 23) which follows immediately afterwards. However, unlike a regular Friday afternoon, it is important to make sure that all foods prepared for Shabbat be totally cooked and edible well before Shabbat begins.
The Eruv consists of a matzah or a challah roll, and a cooked food, such as meat, fish, or an unpeeled hard-boiled egg. For details of the procedure and the appropriate Brachah that should be made, consult the siddur (Tehillat Hashem page 327) or see here.
