Torah Signing
2025-09-28 12:00 - 14:00 | 519 Clay Avenue to 1025 Vine Street
A Torah signing is a special religious and cultural celebration where community members gather to participate in the completion of a handwritten Torah scroll. A trained scribe (sofer) writes the final letters of the scroll, often with the assistance of participants who symbolically help hold the pen. This marks the completion of a sacred text that will be used in synagogue services.

Once the Torah is completed, it is customary to celebrate with singing and dancing. Traditionally, the community will take the new Torah into the streets in a joyful procession, accompanied by live music, dancing, and participants carrying the Torah under a canopy. This procession is a hallmark of Jewish heritage and symbolizes bringing the Torah into the heart of the community.

The event is family-friendly, respectful, and celebratory in nature. It usually lasts about an hour in the streets, with the majority of the program taking place indoors at the synagogue.
