We express this joy by singing and dancing while embracing the Torah scrolls. Hakafot: The joyous climax of Simchat Torah is the dancing of hakafot (lit. “circles”) with the Torah scrolls. In the words of one Chassidic master, “On Simchat Torah the Torah scrolls wish to dance, so we become their feet.” Before the dancing commences, a set of seventeen verses called Atah Ha’raita, is chanted three times. If the synagogue has multipe Torah scrolls, they are all removed from the ark with their crowns, which remain on the scrolls throughout the dancing. Members of the congregation are honored with holding the (a Torah scroll should always be held over the right shoulder), and the leader leads a procession around the bimah (reading table) while chanting brief prayers beseeching G‑d for success and deliverance, with the congregation responding in kind. This is followed by singing and dancing with the Torah. WWW.MUCHNIKARTS.COM Notably, the Torahs are rolled shut and wrapped in their velvet coverings for the duration of the hakafot celebrations.

RIVKA BRINGS BLESSINGS BY MICHOEL MUCHNIK

Mitzvah Spotlight: The Mezuzah The mezuzah, a scroll on which a portion of the Torah is written, signifies the sanctity of . It contains the section of the Shema that includes the basic principles of Jewish faith and practice. A mezuzah is placed on the entrances of the home to reflect the holiness of the home that one is about to enter. A decorative case can make the mezuzah more beautiful, but a case without a mezuzah is like the wrapper without the candy. A mezuzah is made in the same manner as the Torah itself: handwritten on parchment in Torah script by an ordained and dedicated scribe who carefully follows the 4,649 laws governing its 713 letters and 22 lines. When you purchase a mezuzah for yourself or as a gift, be sure to ascertain its validity. The mezuzah is affixed: 1. On the right doorpost as one enters the house. 2. In a slanted position with the top pointed toward the inside of the room. 3. In the upper third of the doorpost height. The mezuzah is seen as a special blessing of safety for all who dwell in this particular home, wherever they may be. Since a mezuzah is usually on the doorpost outside the home, exposed to inclement weather conditions and the heat of the sun, it is important to have it checked regularly by an expert scribe.

Tu B’: January 25 Jewish tradition regards the 15th day of Shevat as the New Year for Trees, the beginning of the season when trees begin to bud in the Holy . Just as Rosh Hashanah, the New Year for Creation, is viewed as the day on which man is judged, Tu B’Shevat is a day of judgment for earth’s vegetation. To commemorate this special day, Jews throughout the world eat foods that are distinctive to and characteristic of the Holy Land, including the seven types of fruits and grain mentioned in the Torah: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates. On this day, a new seasonal fruit is customarily eaten for the first time. The blessings Shecheyanu and Ha’eitz are said over the fruit. Tending the Garden The Torah states: “For man is the tree of the field.” There are many lessons to be learned from this metaphor. One lesson with particularly relavance on Tu B’Shevat: just as healthy trees bear fruit, so should one strive to produce fruits in his life. This means doing good deeds and mitzvot that bring spiritual nourishment to those around us. Furthermore, not every tree bears the same fruit. In addition to our common mitzvot and responsibilities, we each have a special role to play in making the world a beautiful garden.

Shavuot: June 12–13 Shavuot marks the day upon which G-d gave the Torah to the entire Jewish nation over 3,300 years ago. In Hebrew, the word shavuot means “weeks” and stands for the seven weeks during which the Jewish people prepared themselves for the giving of the Torah. During this time they rid themselves of the scars of bondage, becoming a holy nation ready to stand before G-d. The giving of the Torah was a far-reaching event that touched the essence of the Jewish soul, then and for all time. Our sages have compared it to a wedding between G-d and the Jewish people: He became our G-d and we accepted the responsibilities of this unique relationship. The Torah, as a marriage contract, spells out the terms of this relationship. It is customary to decorate one’s home with flowers to remind us of the flowers that blossomed on Mount Sinai when the Torah was given. Another very delicious custom is to eat dairy foods during this festival. Shavuot is an appropriate time to rededicate ourselves to our precious heritage. Many make a point of attending the Shavuot Torah reading with all members of the family, young and old—even newborn children. For more info, inspiration and observances: Chabad.org/Shavuot

Gimmel : July 9 The 3rd day of Tammuz, Gimmel Tammuz, is the yartzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson of blessed memory. It is a day when we reflect on the impact the Rebbe has on our lives and the goals he set for our generation—to finalize the process of redemption with the arrival of Moshiach. It is a time to strengthen our commitment to these teachings and goals.

The Three Weeks: July 24–August 14 For eight hundred and thirty years there stood an edifice upon a Jerusalem hilltop, a Temple that served as the point of contact between heaven and earth. So central was this edifice to the relationship between man and G-d that nearly two-thirds of the mitzvot are contingent upon its existence. Over the centuries, the Temple was destroyed, rebuilt and destroyed again. The “Three Weeks” mark a period of national mourning for the Temples’ destruction and the wandering exile that it brought. During this time we do not celebrate weddings or hold festivities. The “Three Weeks” begin with a fast on the 17th of Tammuz, and conclude with a 25-hour fast on Tisha B’, the 9th of Av. This year, since these fast days fall on Shabbat, they are observed on the following Sundays.
