Chabad of South Broward is planning its Simhat Torah dinner-dance for 7 p.m. Tuesday, although Rabbi Raphael Tennenhaus may shift gears if the hurricane comes this way.
"In Jewish law, when something is doubtful and something is definite, you stay with the definite," said the Hallandale Beach rabbi, who founded the first Chabad Lubavitch center in Broward and Palm Beach counties. "Simhat Torah is a definite. You can't cancel a holiday."
Beyond that, he said, his Chabad of South Broward is following normal storm-time practice: calling on the elderly, delivering food and supplies, seeing who may need to be moved. But Tennenhaus isn't planning for the worst.
Houses of worship stay open
