Simchas Torah

SIMCHAS TORAH 2016 begins in the evening of Monday, October 24 and ends in the evening of Tuesday, October 25.

Simchat Torah is a joyous event. The annual cycle of weekly Torah readings is completed at this time, which marks a period of great celebration. Activities include performing the hakafot (dancing with the Torah) around the synagogue bimah (elevated platform). We hold celebratory events after a service on Simchat Torah and decorate the shul.
