| | | Hi, Immediately following the seven-day festival of Sukkot comes the festival of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah (September 30-October 2, 2018) when we conclude — and begin anew — the annual Torah reading cycle. The holiday is marked with unbridled rejoicing, especially during the "hakafot" procession, as we march, sing and dance with the Torah scrolls. "On Simchat Torah," goes the chassidic adage, "we rejoice in the Torah, and the Torah rejoices in us; the Torah, too, wants to dance, so we become the Torah's dancing feet." As the month of Tishrei comes to a close, we have experienced and celebrated the most powerful moments of the Jewish year. As the Torah reading cycle comes to an end, we have read, studied and were inspired by its timeless teachings. As we start reading the Torah all over again, what new lessons, insights, and inspiration will we derive this time around? Wishing you a most joyful holiday! | | | | | Reminder: The Yizkor service is recited in the synagogue on Monday, October 1. | | As we begin the Torah cycle anew, here are some links to bookmark to join in studying the weekly Torah portion (known as Parshah) | | | | | | |
