Torah Tours!

International Lounge
We are excited to present a new program this Simchat Torah to the Hillel community: Torah Tours! This event will take place Thursday night in International Lounge and entails opening up the Torah by book and showing the community what is actually inside during the time of the communal hakafah, when people are outside dancing. So come check out the Torah and take a Torah Tour! Also, in order for this to happen smoothly, we need volunteers to assist with holding and taking care of the Torah. We are looking for 10 volunteers per book and would really appreciate your help! The shifts are as follows:
8-8:15 Taking Torah out
8:15-8:25 D’Varim
8:25-8:35 Bamidbar
8:35-8:45 Vayikra
8:45-8:55 Sh’mot
8:55-9:05 Bresheet
9:05 Roll Torah back up!
We look forward to hearing from you and can’t wait to celebrate the Torah this weekend.
Thanks!
