Simhat Torah Celebration

When

October 24, 2024 - October 25, 2024    
9:15 am - 12:15 pm

Shemini Atseret/Simhat Torah will forever be the Jewish anniversary of the October 7th, 2023 attacks. Early on, as people responded to the horror, the phrase “we will dance again” was coined. It is a statement of hope and resilience that, despite our sadness, we will continue to embrace our traditions and our lives with joy. This holiday, we will take time to remember, pray and – yes – dance in our never-ending support for the State of Israel and our pride in being part of the eternal Jewish people.
