Outdoor Simchat Torah Celebration

Simchat Torah, meaning “The Joy of Torah”, celebrates the completion and new cycle of reading the Torah. We hold up the Torah as it is completely opened and read the final verses of Deuteronomy and the first lines of Genesis.  In order to allow our younger congregants to participate in this festive ritual, the service will be held outdoors under the lights in the Klein courtyard, with to-go treats handed out for the sweetness of Torah.
