Hundreds participate in extraordinary dancing at a “second hakafot” holiday celebration at a leading Israeli yeshiva.
Hundreds dance into the night at Har Hamor, a leading Israeli yeshiva, to celebrate Simchat Torah, the day on which Jews complete, and immediately begin anew, the annual Torah reading cycle.
The milestone is marked with dancing during seven circuits or circles known as “hakafot,” with the Torah scrolls held aloft by the dancers themselves.
On the evening following the holiday, musical instruments and the filming of the celebrations, are permitted as Jews dance in what’s known as “second hakafot.”
In the words of a Chassidic sage, “On Simchat Torah the Torah scrolls wish to dance, so we become their feet.” Watch as this saying comes to life.
Life-Saving ATVs Stop Terrorists Before they Attack Innocent Israelis
Palestinian attackers have terrorized Israelis with stabbings, shootings, bombings and car-rammings throughout Israel, with no end in sight.
Specialized, state-of-the-art, compact, all-terrain ATVs that maneuver in tight spaces are Israel’s “secret weapon,” designed to pursue and capture terrorists BEFORE they attack. Life-saving ATVs are desperately needed to protect communities throughout Israel. Please donate generously!
