  • The event took place at the "Yeshuot Yaakov" prayer halls.
  • Congregants danced with Torah scrolls in celebration.
  • The celebration occurred after the Simchat Torah holiday.

Authentic Jewish joy filled the "Yeshuot Yaakov" prayer halls in Jerusalem's historic Mea Shearim neighborhood last night, as worshippers celebrated the "Hakafot Sheniyot" (Second Hakafot) ceremony following the Simchat Torah holiday. Congregants danced with Torah scrolls, some in circles and others carried on shoulders, expressing their elation. The event, documented by Chaim Goldberg, showcased a vibrant religious celebration within the ultra-Orthodox community.
