ELIZABETH APPLEBAUM
AppleTree Editor -
When:The 23rd of Tishrei, this year
on Sunday, Sept. 29 (remember that
the holiday begins Saturday night).
What It Celebrates: This holiday
marks the time we complete the
reading of the Torah.
How To Celebrate: On Simchat
Torah, we read the last Torah por-
tion, VeZot HaBrachah, and will
begin again
next week with Parshat
0
Bereshit.
During davening, each Sefer
Torah, or Torah scroll, is removed
from the ark, then held by a congre-
gant who dances with it around the
synagogue or temple.
It's tradition-al to dance seven
times (called hakafot) about the
sanctuary, with every completed
round followed by singing, dancing
and merriment. Simchat Torah is the
only yom toy (holiday) when Jews are
allowed to dance around the syna-
gogue.
It's also a custom in many congre-
gations to invite all children to the
bimah for the last aliyah. There
stands a canopy of tallitot where the
children gather and often are held
on adults' shoulders. The children
say a special blessing, Kol HaNe'arim
(all the youth), after which congre-
gants toss handfuls of sweets toward
the bimah.
Unique Features Of The Day:
Interestingly, Simchat Torah is not
mandated by the Torah. In fact, it's
not even mentioned in the Torah.
Simchat Torah is completely rab-
binic in origin. Furthermore, it is
the only time during the year when
we read from the Torah at night (and
then again the next morning.) ❑
