The DPJC recently celebrated Simchat Torah in the tradition it has done for many years. There was singing and carrying of the Torah scrolls in seven circuits of the synagogue.
This year we honoured Philip Abrahams and Sue Jacobson as Chatan Torah and Kallat Bereishit. In a most special ceremony during the service the children of the congregation stood with Rabbi Avidan and together they recited the opening verses of Genesis for which they were rewarded with sweet things to eat just as the words of Torah they had recited are sweet.
