It is traditional to prepare sweets shaped like a Torah scroll. Strudels, cannolis, rolled cakes, and blintzes are some examples of Simchat Torah treats. Another lovely custom is to bake cookies shaped like the Hebrew letters of the first word of the Torah.

In many communities around the world, children bring a Simchat Torah flag to the synagogue. They wave it while they dance around the Torah.

Celebrate the giving of the Torah by experiencing the work of a sofer.
