  • Mishkenot HaTorah yeshiva celebrated Second Hakafot.
  • The event took place on October 5, 2026.
  • Second Hakafot follows the Sukkot holiday.
  • The ceremony involves circling Torah scrolls.

The Mishkenot HaTorah yeshiva held its annual "Second Hakafot" ceremony on October 5, 2026. This traditional event, which follows the Sukkot holiday, involves circling the Torah scrolls while singing and dancing. The ceremony is a significant occasion for the students and faculty of the yeshiva, marking a joyous conclusion to the festival.

Second Hakafot is a custom observed in some Jewish communities, particularly in Ashkenazi traditions, to extend the celebration of Simchat Torah. It provides an additional opportunity for communal prayer and celebration centered around the Torah. The Mishkenot HaTorah yeshiva's participation highlights its commitment to preserving and celebrating these religious traditions.
