Discussion points
- Shemini Atzerat means ‘Eighth day of Assembly’.
- It is celebrated on the 22nd of Tishrei in Israel and also on the 23rd elsewhere in the world. These dates fall in late September or early October.
- It comes directly after the 7-day feast of Sukkot and is therefore the eighth day.
- Simchat Torah is a celebration of the Torah scriptures.
- This happens on the second day of Shemini Atzerat (or on the same day in Israel).
