Lesson Highlights

  • The day of Shmini Atzeret: on the level of Shavuot, the revelation of the totality of the Light of the Creator
  • The Light of immortality without time or space
  • The Light of the Creator grabbing us close in an embrace
  • Dancing and singing
  • Drawing surrounding Light

Lesson Description

Right before the first hakafot on Simchat Torah, Michael shares insights on how to embrace the Light of the Creator in order to draw protection, direction and blessings for the upcoming year.

About This Course

During Simchat Torah, we express as much joy and happiness as possible, through prayer connections, special readings from the Torah scroll and enjoying a party-like atmosphere of dancing and singing with the Torah to secure happiness for the year ahead. On this holiday, happiness is the key to our connection.
