The Simchat Torah holiday celebrates the conclusion and beginning of the annual cycle of public Torah readings.
ed note–There are entire libraries that could be written on the significance of the story below, but in the interests of not further burdening the already-overtaxed concentration span of the average Gentile, we’ll keep it ‘short & sweet’ as the old saying goes, or at least our best attempt at doing so…
In searching for rational answers as to WHY the Jews as a group behave in the violent and uncivilized manner that they do, (and always have, if we want to be perfectly honest) including why there has been this 2-year-long Satanic black mass in Gaza, honest ‘wanna-knows’ have been steered down various explanational avenues that, while containing within them SOME degree of truth, certainly do not contain all of it.
And one of those avenues has been the ‘Talmud’ thing, an ‘explanation’ that for the most part has been proffered by those of the Christian pedigree who are on a mission to protect their ‘Old Testament’, known by the Jews as the ‘Torah’.
This explanation, so these Christian defenders of the Old Testament claim, is that the Jews behave in violent and uncivilized ways because they have abandoned the ‘holy’ teachings of the Torah (Old Testament) and have replaced it with this horrid work of religious instruction known as the Talmud.
Now, in the interests of accuracy, ladies and Gentile-men, the Talmud is indeed exactly as described above, i.e. a ‘horrid work of religious instruction’. Within it, one will find descriptions of Jesus as a sex freak and a sorcerer, His holy mother Mary a prostitute, as well as precise instructions on when and how a Jew may sexually abuse a child or murder a Gentile.
However, what must be understood about all of this is that this ‘horrid work of religious instruction’ known as the Talmud is, just as the rabbis themselves describe it, an extension and ‘explanation’ of the various teachings that already exist within that same Old Testament (Torah) which these various Christian writers and analysts claim the Jews no longer follow. It is a highly-detailed ‘how to’ manual for the Jews in applying the 613 rules making up the ‘Law of Moses’, how each is to be executed, and the particulars of dealing with any exceptions that may accompany the execution of these laws.
And the story below, ladies and Gentile-men, is just one small additional ‘proof’ that the claim made by these various defenders of the Old Testament is patently false. The Jews still revere and follow the commandments of their Torah, just as they proved in the ‘exterminate Amalek’ business that took place in Gaza for 2 years, and anyone of whatever pedigree that says otherwise needs to be seen for what he/she is, i.e. someone trying to describe his/her surroundings with both eyes taped shut.

Hundreds of Jews, including IDF soldiers, danced with a Torah scroll singing ‘The Nation of Israel lives’ on Tuesday at the site of the Supernova music festival massacre near the Gaza Strip.

The event marking Simchat Torah came a day after the remaining 20 living hostages were released from Gaza, two years after the Oct. 7 attack.
The Simchat Torah holiday celebrates the conclusion and beginning of the annual cycle of public Torah readings.
The desert site, which has been turned into a vast memorial area, had been thronged with bereaved families on the second anniversary of the Gazan slaughter last week.
Separately, scores of people celebrated the Simchat Torah holiday at the site of the destroyed police station in the southern Israeli city of Sderot, where some 20 police officers died battling Hamas terrorists two years ago.
