A DIFFERENT KIND OF SIMCHAT TORAH

 

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SIMCHAT TORAH

 

The energy in the room was intense as the dancing continued from song to song, and the circles ebbed and grew in intensity with the different melodies that were being sung.

 

The sounds of Am Yisrael Chai surged through the room, as the dancing, stomping feet, and happy laughter filled the air. Teens, little kids, big kids, older adults, young adults and everyone in the room, spun around and around and lifted their feet and themselves off the ground and the pain of this past year.

 

This year more than ever, the need to dance for all those who can't anymore, or who couldn't do it this year, became the clarion call of Simchat Torah. Strengthening the inner resolve of Am Yisrael… Read More »

How do we Dance this Simchat Torah?

 

This evening we welcome in the Holiday of Shemini Atzeret & Simchat Torah, one of the most joyous holidays on the Jewish Calendar. It is a holiday marked by joyous dancing and celebrations as we conclude the Torah and celebrate our heritage.

This year, the pain of what happened on October 7th on the holiday of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah is still very much in the air. More than 1,200 victims will be remembered tomorrow on their first Hebrew Yahrziet, date of passing, and their thousands of immediate family members and close friends, will certainly be thinking of them throughout the day.

There are also still 101 hostages still suffering and languishing in the tunnels of Gaza in the cruel hands of the Hamas terrorists.

Thank you to the HUGE crowd of nearly 100 adults who joined us last night for the Sushi & Soup in the Sukkah + Whiskey Tasting at ChabadSudbury!

Oct 7th Message

 

Today is a very painful and difficult day for each and every one of us, as we  mark the one year anniversary of the horrific attacks of Oct 7th when thousands of Hamas terrorists and their civilian supporters entered Israel and massacred and murdered over 1200 Israelis and took well over 200 hostages.

The pain makes your heart ache and the sadness is so pervasive, as we think of the young children who were murdered in such a cruel way in front of their parents, and the parents who were murdered in front of their children, the many other terrible atrocities, and the terrible difficult situation of the 100 remaining hostages and their families.

Since the events of Oct 7th, a terrible war has ensued that has taken so many of our… Read More »

20240818_170556.jpgAs we end the year of 5784, a year that has been a challenging year for our people, despite so many blessings that have continued to happen in our personal lives, I would like to wish each and everyone of our relatives, friends and community members, an upcoming year of blessings in health, happiness, Nachat, joy and a year in which we see security and peace restored to Israel and an end to the evil there and everywhere else.
