About Shmini Atzeret

Shmini Atzeret is a special holiday in the Jewish calendar that follows the seven days of Sukkot. It is considered a separate holiday, and is often referred to as the "Eighth Day of Assembly." It is a day of reflection, prayer, and connection with our faith and community.

About Simchat Torah

Simchat Torah, also known as "Rejoicing with the Torah," immediately follows Shmini Atzeret. It is a time to honor the completion of the annual Torah reading cycle and to begin it anew. During joyful celebrations, the Torah scrolls are paraded around the synagogue, and the final portion of Deuteronomy is read, followed by the first portion of Genesis.
