About Simchat Torah
Simchat Torah is a Jewish holiday that follows the conclusion of Sukkot and marks the completion and renewal of the annual cycle of Torah readings. It is observed near the end of the month of Tishri. The Gregorian date varies each year because it follows the Hebrew calendar.
Significance
Simchat Torah is significant because it centers on the Torah as a continuing source of Jewish religious life. The holiday marks both an ending and a beginning: the completion of one reading cycle and the start of the next. Its close connection with Sukkot places it within the broader autumn festival season.
