On Simchat Torah, you can greet someone with the traditional Jewish holiday greeting "Chag Sameach," which means "Happy Holiday" in Hebrew
. This holiday marks the end of the annual cycle of weekly Torah readings and the beginning of the new cycle. It is a joyous occasion that celebrates the Jewish love of Torah and study. The main celebrations of Simchat Torah take place in the synagogue during evening and morning services. In the evening, all the synagogue's Torah scrolls are removed from the ark and carried around the sanctuary in a series of seven circuits called hakafot. The last parashah of Deuteronomy and the first parashah of Genesis are read in the synagogue
