Thousands of students participated in the Hakafot Shniyot (second hakafot) ceremony at the Ponevezh Yeshiva on the evening following the Simchat Torah holiday. The event was led by the yeshiva's president and Rosh Yeshiva Gerrer B. Povarsky.
The Hakafot Shniyot tradition typically involves further dancing with the Torah scrolls after the main Simchat Torah celebrations have concluded, often drawing large crowds in religious communities. The Ponevezh Yeshiva, a prominent Lithuanian-style yeshiva located in Bnei Brak, is known for its large student body and significant role in religious education.
