Last year I posted some historic Israeli Simchat Torah flags for the coming holiday. Here are some more from the same article.


This is from the 1950s, showing various mitzvot associated with the Hebrew month of Tishrei. It also shows kids dancing with torches, which was a common custom at the time in some communities.



This flag is from the 1970s and celebrated diversity before it became a trendy buzzword, showing kids in both Ashkenazic and traditional Oriental and Persian dress.

Anyway, I want to wish everyone a chag sameach. After sunset tonight I will not be posting until at least Saturday night. This is the price I pay for living outside Israel.

I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
