Simchas Torah

Do you have a favorite book? What is it? What do you do when you’re

finished reading the book? Do you give it to your cousin? No, you read

it again and again.
We have a special Torah that Hashem loves so much and Hashem wants us
to love too!

All year long, when the Rabbi comes to shul he takes the Torah out of the Aron Kodesh and reads a portion of it every Monday, Thursday, and Shabbos ( including Rosh Chodesh and Yomim Tovim). It tells of great stories with wonderful lessons to learn from. It also tells of all the mitzvos (commandments) we can keep. 
Simchas Torah is a happy Yom Tov celebrating the completion of reading from the Torah and for the continuation of its reading all over again right after this yom tov. 
How do we celebrate? We go to shul and dance with the Torah and flags and sing pleasant and cheerful songs.
