Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah 2025

SHEMINI ATZERET begins tonight at sundown. In Israel, this is also the holiday of Simchat Torah (Simhat Torah). Outside of Israel, the latter holiday begins tomorrow at sundown.

I wish you the joy of the holiday. Two years later, today is indeed a day of joy.

Last year's Shemini Atzeret post is here. Biblical etc. links are here.
