NEW YORK — The Jewish diaspora awoke to horror Saturday in what was supposed to be among the most festive times on the Jewish holiday calendar.
At a time that was supposed to be filled with joy, so many were instead entering “the holiday knowing that we can’t possibly celebrate in the same way that we would if obviously this hadn’t happened,” she said. “I think that’s often been the case in these wars, that Israel often gets attacked on a holiday or Sabbath,” said Jack Rosen, president of the American Jewish Congress. “And, so I don’t think that’s an accident.”
During the Simchat Torah holiday, people gather to dance with the scrolls marking the end of an annual reading cycle and the beginning of the next.
