On the 2nd day of Sivan in they year 2449 - a few days before Matan Torah - Hashem informed us that we're a Chosen Nation:
וִהְיִיתֶם לִי סְגֻלָּה מִכָּל-הָעַמִּים, כִּי-לִי כָּל-הָאָרֶץ
(Shmoth 19:5)
As a result, 2 Sivan is often referred to as the Pedigree-Day; Yom-Hameyuchas.
The next 3 days are called שְלוֹשֶת יְמֵי הַהַגבָּלָה - the 3 days days of limitations, during which we were given certain limitations as it says:
וְהִגְבַּלְתָּ אֶת-הָעָם סָבִיב לֵאמֹר הִשָּׁמְרוּ לָכֶם עֲלוֹת בָּהָר וּנְגֹעַ בְּקָצֵהוּ
No Tachanun is said during the first part of Sivan; until Isru-Chag Shavu'ot (or a week later - depending on local custom).
Source: Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 22:8,
אֵין אוֹמְרִים תַּחֲנוּן לֹא בְּרֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ ... וְלֹא מֵרֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ סִיוָן עַד לְאַחַר אִסְרוּ חַג דְּשָׁבוּעוֹת וְלֹא בְּאִסְרוּ חַג דְּסֻכּוֹת, בְּכָל אֵלּוּ אֵין אוֹמְרִים בְּמִנְחָה שֶׁלִּפְנֵיהֶם.
Rosh Chodesh Sivan will be tomorrow (Thursday night and Friday). Shabbat will be Yom Hameyuchas.
Chodesh Tov and Shabbat Shalom
