Simhat Torah Challenge

Welcome to Simhat Torah 2020 at the Magen David of West Deal synagogue! With safety in mind, we’re aiming to have another great year of celebration. This year, we’re introducing a Simhat Torah Challenge for the children, which will allow each child to qualify for an amazing candy bag that can be picked up at the synagogue this Friday, October 9th.

To qualify for a bag, each child in your family should follow these simple instructions:

  1. Find the video below that corresponds to your age/grade level, and watch the video.
  2. Create a video and record your answers to the questions listed below the video. Be sure to say your name, grade, and full answers. If you have any siblings that are 2-3 years old, please mention their names as well, so that we can have a Simhat Torah bag prepared for them also.
  3. Upload and send your video to Rabbi Hidary on WhatsApp: (718) 541-1240
  4. Arrive on Friday between 10:00am and 1:00pm to pick up your candy bag!
