(15) You shall hold a festival for the LORD your God seven days...and you shall have nothing but joy.
Welcome to Z’man Simchateinu, the Time of Rejoicing! From the harvest celebration of Sukkot to the communal Torah siyum of Simchat Torah, Sefaria wishes you and your community lots of happy learning.
- Sukkot on Sefaria is a collection of ready-to-go lessons and adaptable discussion guides for Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Use them as-is or adjust them to suit your audience!
- Not Your Grandmother's Sukkah: Sukkot from Neot Kedumim combines texts, photos, and creative ideas for all ages. Sukkah builders rely on strict architectural instructions based on the Mishnah. Inspire your students to think creatively about sukkot with this collection.
- As we finish the Torah cycle, we are also completing the Developing Independent Learning Skills collection with a brand new Simchat Torah lesson. A Year in the Life of the Torah takes students on a nostalgic journey through the Torah while they discover secret tricks of learning on Sefaria.
- Join the Sefaria learning community for a very special Chavruta Roulette: Chol HaMoed Edition on Thursday, September 23rd at 8pm ET! Sitting in small, impermanent huts exposed to the elements sounds a bit uncomfortable...so where's the joy in Sukkot? Explore these questions with a randomly-paired chavruta partner
