Simchat Torah

Simchat Torah (meaning, "Celebration of the Torah") is a one-day holiday that marks the completion of the annual cycle of the Torah reading. The final portion of Deuteronomy is read and then a new Torah reading cycle is immediately started with the Book of Genesis. Many synagogues unroll the Torah scroll completely so everyone can see the whole Torah.
