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 for a roaring celebration.  Eat, drink, dance, and be merry as we carry on into the night. Chag Sameach!
