Episode Synopsis

The celebration of Simchat Tora and Shmeni Atzeret have been going on for thousands of years and they have evolved over time. Prof. Jeffery Woolf, a professor in the Talmud department in Bar Ilan University explained the evolution of the holiday to reporter Arieh O’Sullivan and spoke about the dichotomy of the celebration with the coincidence of the tragic events in Jewish history like the October 7th Hamas attack.
