AL SHLOSHA DEVARIM HA’OLAM OMED -AL HATORAH, AL HA-AVODAH, V’AL GEMILUT CHASADIM
ON THREE THINGS THE WORLD STANDS; TORAH, WORSHIP AND KIND DEEDS.
Mishnah Avot
If Torah is one of the foundations of our Jewish life, and learning such a key part of our synagogue community, then it stands to reason that Simchat Torah is one to truly celebrate as we end and begin again the Torah cycle. It is the final festival of the month of Tishri, completing it all and we will be honouring our Chatan Torah Franklyn Gellnick and Kallat Bereshit Alex Gellnick. And as we did 2019 before COVID we will be unrolling the scroll -bringing Torah to us all and so many of you will be reading a verse, some of your for the first time ever and some rehearsing your B’nei Mitzvah memory. Truly the looking inside the Sefer Torah is an experience, not just the proximity to this particular scroll but also the recognition of key stories, poems, moments in our Torah narrative. I love this and so look forward to sharing this with you all. Come Sunday 6.30pm and Monday 11am. Wear warm clothes (windows and doors open as usual). Bring drinks or desserts to share.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rebecca
