On Sunday night, October 15, Congregation Tifereth Shalom hosted a post Simchat Torah Celebration and Hakafot Sheniot - a truly incredible event and great Kiddush Hashem. The celebration took place at Young Israel of Forest Hills, with every detail taken care of, from valet parking to goodie bags for the kids. You may think that after a three day Yom Tov no one would want to venture out at night once it was over, but every seat in the room was taken and people continued to stream into the hall throughout the night. Those attending were able to sit down to delicious, hot catered meal by Royal Caterers. Many Sifrei Torah were brought out, and for a final time this year, people chanted the tefilot prior to each hakafah and danced to the joyous music played by a DJ and accompanied by drummers.
The dancing and singing shook the room and was an incredible inspiration to watch. It was a beautiful sight to watch people from all different backgrounds come to continue the celebration of the Torah and prolong the kedushah and simchah of the chagim. The unity in the room was an incredible way to give nachat to Hashem while we celebrated his holy Torah. The many children in attendance were given flags to wave and goodie bags filled with candy. The smiles on their faces were enough to show how much they enjoyed themselves.
