Listen "Circling the Bima"
Episode Synopsis
Every day of sukkot we march around the Bima (podium) in the center of the synagogue with our Lulav. On Simchat Torah, we dance around the Bima with the Torah scrolls. What is the significance of circling the Bima and why do we circle the Bima on Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
Join us this Sunday for a delicious breakfast in the JCC Sukkah and a fascinating discussion about the customs of circling the Bima on Sukkot and Simchat Torah
