SIMCHAT TORAH
& BIG TENT SHABBAT

We will come together for one of the most joyous days on the Jewish calendar!

Tot Simchat Torah & Big Tent Tot Shabbat @5:00pm


Erev Simchat Torah & Big Tent Shabbat Service @6:15pm**
During the 6:15pm service we will enjoy wonderful music and dance with the Torahs, and then have a short service and unroll the Torah together as a community.

Everyone is invited and all are welcome to attend the events that speak to them, as we bring many different generations of Temple Shaaray Tefila’s community together for an evening of meaning, connection and purpose!
**Please note that the 6:15pm dancing with the Torahs and Simchat Torah service will be livestreamed and open to the public to view.
