"Simchat Torah, Hebrew for "rejoicing in the Law", celebrates the completion of the annual reading of the Torah. Simchat Torah is a joyous festival, in which we affirm our view of the Torah as a tree of life and demonstrate a living example of never-ending, lifelong study. Torah scrolls are taken from the ark and carried or danced around the synagogue seven times. During the Torah service, the concluding section of Deuteronomy is read, and immediately following, the opening section of Genesis, or B'reishit as it is called in Hebrew, is read."

  • @wernera1 then again......they could have non jews driving these vehicles and working the lights because a gentile can do that :) drive and turn on and off lights....also work dj equipment. there's such a thing as goyam who can speak read translate hebrew :)...we never know unless we are there. this may have been in another part of the country too. if its israel we know its not shabbat but could be sat night shabbos

  • @WineBibberToronto1 yeah looks like its possibly a pre celebration since they can't celebrate like this on shabbos lol...it's prob a thur or something

  • @Conspiracyknowledge The women and men are dancing separately as we can see the men with men and women with women meanwhile when my Jordanian Muslim neighbors got married they danced TOGETHER with the women, both dancing Debka and many of those Muslims in my neighborhood wear Hijabs with tight jeans.... Now that IS CORRUPT!!! Music is allowed in Judaism it's a Jewish Holiday, same with dancing.

  • @Argento1853 read my comment again and tell me where i went wrong. when i said "corrupt" i meant corrupt in their religion (music, dancing, men and women blending in judaism???).

  • @Conspiracyknowledge STFU you Anti-Semitic Islamo cock sucking piece of mierda. Meanwhile it's you White trash using us Latinos to work for you for one dollar an hour taking advantage of us, at least the Jews I know have shown us more respect. Go eat your Kraft Macaroni and Cheese white trash you are jealous of Jews, Blacks, Latinos, etc coz you whities and Islamonazis got NO culture.

  • when i see corrupt jews like this, i always wonder "what would moses say if he saw these corrupt people??"

  • @ESL: I know this is not Simchat Torah. I am a religious Jew and this is not how the holiday is celebrated.

    1)Motor vehicles? Never!

    2) Power lights? Never!

    3) Recorded music? Never!

    Simchat Torah is a Yom Tov. Trust me, this video is not a Yom Tov.

  • @WineBibberToronto1 What makes you think it isn't???
