ABSTRACT

Each member is called up by the warden and given one of the scrolls to carry in the procession round the synagogue, while psalms and hymns of praise and thanksgiving are being chanted.

With great joy the boys always looked forward to this Simchas Torah service, because of the honour of carrying one of the scrolls, the smaller ones being given to the younger boys. Even the tiny tots carried coloured flags with the words : " Rejoicing in the Law," painted on them. An apple dipped in toffee was stuck on top of the flag-stick .
