Simchat Torah for Hebrew Year 6075 begins at sundown on and ends at nightfall on .
Simchat Torah (Hebrew: שִׂמְחַת תורָה, lit. “Rejoicing with/of the Torah”) is a celebration marking the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings and the beginning of a new cycle. It is a component of the Biblical holiday of Shemini Atzeret, which follows immediately after Sukkot. The central celebration takes place during evening services — one of the rare occasions when Torah scrolls are taken from the ark at night. In the morning, the last parashah of Deuteronomy and the first of Genesis are read consecutively, and the congregation dances and sings joyfully with the Torah scrolls.
