Simchat Torah Family Service

On Simchat Torah (Holiday which celebrates the Torah) we consecrate the kindergarteners of our Religious School. First, we give them a miniature Sefer (book) Toah, and then we hold an open tallit (prayer shawl) over them while blessing them. Then we renew the reading of the Torah by both finishing the Book of Deuteronomy and beginning the Book of Genesis all over again. We seven hakafot (parades) while dancing with the scrolls in our arms. We wave special flags and throw candy. The we wash hands and open a scroll all throughout and around the entirety of the sanctuary. It is a special privilege to see a sefer torah completely unwound---to realize how long the text actually is and to support it while not touching the sacred letters. Simchat Torah is our sweetest holiday in so many ways.

This event is held at our facilty in Morrison, Colorado (4716 S. Coors Lane)

This is free event.
