Simchat Torah 
We celebrate the moment Jews accepted the Torah on Mount Sinai by chanting the last verse of the Torah followed by the first verse, as the Torah is unrolled around the perimeter of the sanctuary. The following morning, we hold a Simchat Torah service with Yizkor (memorial service). Learn More about Simchat Torah.
