Simchat Torah

October 24 at 7:30 pm

This year, we are participating in the Simchat Torah Project. The project’s goal is to unite the Jewish world both in its mourning and in its dancing. Synagogues around the world will participate in this project, each receiving a Torah cover with the name of one of the victims or fallen soldiers to adorn the scroll. Jews and their communities worldwide will be connected, knowing that across the globe, Jews are dancing with their newly robed Torah scrolls that collectively link us all in reflection and remembrance of October 7, while proclaiming together that “Am Yisrael Chai.”

As we hold our Torahs high, we will not forget what happened on Simchat Torah last year, but we will honor the victims by pushing ourselves to dispel the darkness with light. Our enemies will not prevail over us, and we will never allow them to achieve their goal of stealing from us our day of joy.
