Simchat Torah

Simchat Torah means “Joy of the Torah.” Throughout the Hebraic calendar year, during our Torah services on Saturday, we read one portion of the Torah each week, which is called the Parsha. Simchat Torah is the day when the final chapters of Deuteronomy and the first chapters of Genesis are read, completing and restarting the annual cycle. We celebrate the gift of the Torah with music and dance, rejoicing in the goodness of G-d’s Word.
