Blessing Israel Together

This year Israel Relief Aid wanted to do an event for Rosh Hashana that would benefit Holocaust Survivors, but are also always thinking about the new immigrants that continue to trek into their new homeland.

Simchat Torah, Sundown October 24 this year (October 23 in Israel), celebrates the renewal of the weekly reading cycle immediately after Sukkot. On Simchat Torah, we read the conclusion of Deuteronomy, the story of the death of Moses, and then immediately continue on with the account of creation in Genesis 1. Every ending brings a new beginning, and this is especially true of our study of Scripture.
