6:00 Simchat Torah Service featuring Consecration followed by Dancing in the Street and an Oneg
Simchat Torah is the holiday where we celebrate the year-long cycle of reading Torah from beginning to end. This celebration is for all ages! What’s the best way to celebrate Simchat Torah?
Singing! Yes, that’s why we invited David Sparr, Music Director, Josh Cohen and our amazing Shabbat band!
Dancing! Yes, we’ll dance on Beacon Street with the Torah! We will be accompanied by the Klezmer band Too Klez for Comfort.
Community! We will unroll the Torah and surround our entire community in its teachings.
Teaching! We will mark the beginning of another school year. Our grade six children will become our teachers as they find "their" place in the Torah and begin preparations for B’nei Mitzvah.
Chanting! Yes, hear how to chant the last and first verses of the Torah.
Art! Yes, we’ll make fun Torah crafts during dinner!
Cookies! Yes, Torah is meant to be sweet so a special Oneg will follow services!
Don’t miss Consecration!
For all students beginning formal Jewish education at the Ansin Religious School, we also invite you to participate in consecration this evening. You will receive a gift of Torah and mark this special milestone on the bimah!
Come celebrate the joy of Torah! Picture Coolclips.com)

The Book of Judges contains some of the most dramatic episodes in the bible. It is part of the Deuteronomic History that begins with Deuteronomy itself and continues through Second Kings, with the fall of Jerusalem and the end of the Davidic monarchy. The goals of the course are to engage in a close reading of the texts and to discover a hidden political agenda that underlies much of the Hebrew Bible. -
