Minhag on Shavuos, that you should not change


                              The Rokeach writes, not to change this Minhag

Minhag Avoseinu is, to bring the children on Shavuos early morning (Ka’alos Hashachar) to the Beis Hakneses.
They should be covered with a coat  all the way from their home  ,( remez to Vayisyatzvu Tachas Hahar.)
The child is placed on the lap of the Rav. with a tablet, written on it is  AB-GAD, TASH- RAK (Alef Bais, forwards
and backwards), Torah Tziva, Vayikrah. Tha Rav reads and the child repeats after him.
Honey is placed on the alef Bais and the child licks it off. A Honey cake is brought in. The following words are
written on the cake
 *וכתוב עליה ה׳
אלהים נתן לי לשון לימודים לדעת לעות את יעף דבר יעיד בבקר בבקר יעיר לי אזן
לשמע בלימודים ה׳ אלהיפ פתח לי אזן ואנכי לא פדיתי ואחור לא נםוגותי

Afterwards a cooked peeled egg is brought in. On the egg peel is written the following words

ויאמר אלי
בן אדם בטנך תאכל ומעיר תמלא את המגילה הזאת אשר
אני נותן אליך ואוכלה ותהי בפי כדבש למתוק


You feed the child the honey cake and egg because it is good for  opening of the heart.

ואל ישנה אדם מן המנהג
 and a person should not change from the Minhag
