Not Your Rabbi's Simchat Torah - October 10th
Traditionally celebrated in synagogue by dancing and singing with
the Torah, we’re inviting you to step outside the box with us as we
celebrate the holiday in the North Bay. Not Your Rabbi’s Simchat Torah
takes us out of the shul and into the living room as we come together

on into the night. Chag Sameach!
