Join us for a song and dance filled Simchat Torah service when we finish reading the Torah and begin it all over again. We start the evening with Consecration, a short ceremony for our new Religious School students taking the first steps on their Jewish educational journey. We also recognize our B’nai Mitzvah students as they stand near their parsha in the unrolled Torah scroll. This is a special evening for the younger members of our community and a meaningful moment for our entire congregation.

Please sign up to help with oneg.

This is a great opportunity to spend time with Rabbi Rachel if you haven’t done so already and meet new and old friends. We will shake the lulav and enjoy a cup of apple cider, freshly baked cider donuts, bagels and cream cheese in our sukkah.

Donuts and cider have been donated to us by Fairmount Fruit Farms in Franklin
