Simchat Torah Celebrations || NirisEye || Israel High Holydays || Israel High Holidays || Shemini Atzeret In my Channel - NirisEye, I share the videos of travel, people, view, places and things of interest. In this video, I share the celebrations of Simchat Torah in Tel Aviv, Israel. A central pillar of the Jewish faith, the Torah is the holy book that details the origins of the Jewish people, the tenets of their faith, and the early history of the religion and its prophets. On Simchat Torah, Jewish communities celebrate the gift of the Torah and its role in religious life with joyful acknowledgement and meaningful rituals. During this time, rabbis ceremoniously remove the Torah scrolls from their ark, carry them through the congregation, and read specific passages to close out the old cycle and welcome the new. In the Diaspora, the celebration of Simchat Torah is deferred to the second day of the holiday. Commonly, only the first day is referred to as Shemini Atzeret, while the second is called Simchat Torah. Karaite Jews and Samaritans also observe Shemini Atzeret, as they do all Biblical holidays. #NirisEye
