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.
No Tachanun is said during the first part of Sivan; until Isru-Chag Shavu'ot (or a week later - depending on local custom).

Rosh Chodesh Sivan will be tomorrow (Thursday night and Friday). Shabbat will be Yom Hameyuchas.
Chodesh Tov and Shabbat Shalom

Thursday, 29 Iyar 5773 - 44th day of the Omer
