Dancing with the...
(10/9)

You’ve heard of Dancing With the Stars.
 
Well, now we give you... (wait for it)... (almost here)...

"Dancing With the Jews"
 

Led by Rabbi Darnov, please join us at the Reform Temple of Putnam Valley this Friday, October 9th, for Simchat Torah.
 
You’ve heard him sing, you’ve seen him play guitar, you’ve survived his jokes and now witness the event of the year: the Dancing Rabbi!
 
Simchat Torah means "Rejoicing in the Torah." This holiday marks the completion of the annual cycle of weekly Torah readings. Simchat Torah is the time that we finish reading the Torah and then proceed immediately to the first chapter of Genesis, reminding us that the Torah is a circle, and never ends. This completion of the readings is a time of great celebration.
 
Join us on Friday evening, October 9th, for this wonderful evening with family, friends and fellow congregants as we celebrate the holiday of Simchat Torah with laughter, with song, with dance and with much joy.
 
(And unlike Dancing With the Stars, we don’t judge anyone, so feel free to let it all hang out.)

Cash for Gold Event
