Meaning “the joy of Torah,” Simchat Torah marks the completion of the annual cycle of reading the Torah by chanting the final verses and then starting all over again.  One of Judaism’s most celebratory holidays, Simchat Torah is highlighted by the unscrolling of the entire Torah, dancing with the Torah and partaking in delicacies to remind us of the sweetness of learning.  Our celebrating will fittingly include a robust oneg, featuring our chocolate fondue station.
