Simhat Torah for 2010 will be on 1 October.

Through the years a (manmade) observance was added to the Feast of Tabernacles on the 8th day. Simhat Torah means ‘Rejoicing in the Law.’  The Torah or the first 5 Books of the Bible is split up into 54 portions, 1 portion for each Sabbath of the year. The Rabbis added corresponding sections from the Prophets to these readings. Messianic Rabbis also added corresponding sections from the New Testament. The connection between the different sections are amazing.

On Simhat Torah the last section of Deuteronomy is read as well as the first section of Genesis.
