∙ 14y agoThe holiday called "Simkhat Torah" ... literally "Joy of the Torah" ... is the last day of the
set of holidays that take place in the September-October time frame.
As a part of the traditional observance of that day in the synagogue, the end and the
beginning of the Torah are read ... just like that, immediately adjacent, with only a short
pause between. The idea is that Torah reading and study is a continuous process. Just as
soon as its last words are read, its first words are read, and the year-long cycle of reading
begins again.
