The photo is part of my photographic exhibition featuring 21 laminated panels. The images of the exhibit represent the symbols of Jewish festivals throughout the year.

The exhibition has been shown in various places.

After a week of celebration, Sukkoth, the Feast of Tabernacles, is closed with another Shabbat-like holiday called Simchat Torah, The Joy of the Torah, that takes place in synagogue. This is the only time of year on which the Torah scrolls are taken out of the Ark. Then, when the Ark is opened, the worshippers leave their seats to dance and sing with the Torah scrolls in a joyous celebration that can last for several hours.
