Simchas Torah (literally “Rejoicing of the Torah”) immediately follows the week-long Sukkos festival.

On this day, we carry the Torah scrolls and dance for hours around the bima (the platform where the Torah is read) — celebrating the completion of the yearly cycle of Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle.

A mainstay of this celebration is the singing of traditional songs — again and again, as we dance around the bima.

This page contains the text and audio of 32 of the most popular melodies.

These are the songs we will sing on Simchas Torah. Please print a copy–for yourself and anyone in your family–for shul.

I am from Providence. I am a Rabbi in a shul and was planning on working on a song list this year. I then bumped into yours. Thanks!

I was looking for Simchat Torah songs and stumbled upon your site, Rabbi Rich!

Good choice using the song list from http://www.jewishpathways.com/simchat-torah-1 – it’s pretty thorough, and it’s nice that they compiled it in such a beautiful format and even made recordings for it!

I noticed, though, that what must have been your link to their audio doesn’t work…you might want to check on that in case anyone is looking for audio.

Moadim l’simcha!
