end of Sukkot

Tonight/tomorrow is Sh'mini Atzeret aka the end of the festival of Sukkot. It's kind of a plain holiday by itself, but for those on the Israeli calendar (which includes my congregation) it's also Simchat Torah, which is a lot of fun. Tonight and tomorrow we'll read the end of the torah (Moshe's death) and then go right back to the beginning and pick it up again with creation. And we'll do a lot of singing and dancing as well. Chag sameach to those who celebrate, and happy Thursday to the rest of you.
