Colonel Jack Wolfson was a career Jewish soldier in the American army who had served for over 30 years. He was my commanding officer when I arrived to be the chaplain at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1965. Even though there was not much time before the holidays when we arrived, I was determined to make Simhat Torah, which was on a Saturday night and Sunday, a really thrilling experience. We had only one Torah scroll, but I was sure that we could get flags. Not as easy as I thought.
Only in Israel can the joyous celebrations of Simchas Torah be Halachically captured on Camera. Nowhere is this joy more manifest than in Kfar Chabad, where the annual celebrations, known as ‘the Second Hakafos,’ are joined by Israelis of all ages and religious affiliations from across the country.
