Simchat Torah Celebration with Havurah Shalom

Join us for a family-friendly and joyous celebration featuring music and dancing with the Torah! Simchat Torah means "Rejoicing in the Torah." On Simchat Torah, we celebrate the conclusion of our annual Torah reading cycle and the beginning of another; we read the last Torah portion, then the first chapter of Genesis, remembering that the Torah is a circle of life that never ends; and we sing and dance with the Torah.

As many people as possible are given the honor of carrying a Torah scroll, and as many people as possible are given the honor of an aliyah (reciting a blessing over the Torah reading). Children are called up for an aliyah, too. Torah brings sweetness to the lives of all of us! We will have food and Israeli dancing!

You can join us for this celebration at Havurah Shalom or in Zoom Room Neshamah.

Free and open to all; please RSVP/sign up for our Simchat Torah celebration here: https://www.havurahshalom.org/event/hyb-simchat-torah-celebration1.html
