Shalom!

In this sixteenth episode of “Nadine’s Vocal Jewish Journal,” I cover the most recent Jewish Holiday, Simchat Torah. The translation of Simchat Torah is “rejoicing in Torah,” which is exactly what this holiday celebrates and consists of. Simchat Torah is filled with happy and loving dancing and singing in the synagogue. All the Torahs are taken out of the arc, and people parade around with them in circles, celebrating the gift of the Torah from G-d. The end of the Book of Deuteronomy is read followed by the beginning of the Book of Genesis, representing the full cycle of readings from the Torah. Listen to this episode to find out what the little kids in my synagogue parade around with, since they are unable to hold the heavy Torah!
