Festive Holiday Meals
Simchat Torah is celebrated with lavish holiday meals featuring challah, roasted meats, chicken, and all the festive trimmings of a Yom Tov dinner. It is the final holiday meal of the long Tishrei season.
Candy and Treats for Children
Candy is thrown to children during the hakafot and Torah procession, making Simchat Torah one of the most beloved holidays for young ones. Bags of sweets, chocolate, and treats are distributed freely.
Apples on Sticks
Children traditionally carry flags topped with apples (sometimes hollowed out with a candle inside) during the Simchat Torah celebration. The apples are both a decoration and a treat to be eaten afterward.
Kiddush Spread
Generous kiddush spreads with cake, herring, cholent, kugel, and l'chaims (drinks) follow the morning service. The kiddush on Simchat Torah is often the most lavish of the year.
