Join us for the holiday of Simchat Torah, where we restart reading the Torah and celebrate as a community. This particular Simchat Torah, we’re marking not only the completion of the Torah reading cycle, but celebrating the return of the hostages home at last. Join us for a celebration of gratitude and hope—for healing, for peace, and for new beginnings. There will be hot appetizers, decadent dessert, dancing, community, and fun—we look forward to dancing with you!
There will be celebrations on both Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Join us for part or all!
