prayers are made over the lulav — a long palm frond
around which have been wrapped branches of myrtle
and willow — and the etrog — a citron that resembles
a lemon. As the prayers are said, the lulav and etrog are
waved in all directions. This waving motion is an affir-
mation of God’s omnipresence.

Shemini Atzeret is Hebrew for “eighth-day convo -
cation,” and is the name given to the eighth day of
Sukkot. It represents a time of reflection on the holy
days of Sukkot, as well as a time when a special prayer
for rain in the year to come is recited.

Simchat Torah
Simchat Torah — “rejoicing in the law” — is celebrat ed
immediately after Sukkot, and is one of the most festive
of the Jewish holidays. On this day, the final portion of
Deuter onomy (the fifth book of the Torah) is read, and
the reading of Genesis (the first book) is then begun.

This signifies that the Torah is seamless — with no be-
ginning and no end. The Torah scrolls are dressed in
velvet and adorned with silver and jewel ry. People carry
them in their arms as they dance around the synagogue
celebrating. The Simchat Torah festivities and rituals
represent a symbolic marriage of the Jewish people to
the Torah.

30 THE GUIDE 2015/2016
Chanukah In Hebrew, Cha nu kah means “dedication.” This “Fes-
tival of Lights” takes place in the month of Kislev on
the Jew ish calendar (which most often falls during the
month of December on the secular calendar, although
it can start as early as November). It symbolizes the re-
capturing of the Temple during the days of the Mac-
cabees, and the miracle of the oil that burned for eight
days. It also commemorates the first struggle in
recorded history of religious freedom and personal lib-
erty. On each of the eight nights of Chanukah, individ-
uals light the chanu kiah (a nine-candled me no rah),
recite special prayers, and often play dreidel and sing
songs. Chanukah is also a time for eating oil-based
foods such as latkes (potato pancakes) and jelly dough-
nuts (sufganiyot), and for giving gelt (money).
