Simchat Torah 2024 Celebrations. Our celebrating will fittingly include a robust oneg, featuring our chocolate fondue station. He is not a rabbi, though he has often been accused of being one.
We dance, we sing, and we make merry, long into the night! The first day, shemini atzeret, features the prayer for rain, officially commemorating the start of the mediterranean (i.e., israeli) rainy season, and the yizkor prayer (supplicating g‑d to remember the souls of the departed).
