Today on Tablet

Today in Tablet Magazine, for Simchat Torah, which begins tomorrow night, Vanessa Davis explains (with illustration) all about Torah upkeep. Contributing Esther Schor ponders our re-starting the Torah cycle. For the new cycle, Liel Leibovitz inaugurates a new version of his Blessed Week Ever column, this week comparing a project to map a horrible slum in Nairobi, Kenya, to this week’s parsha. Roger Bennett, co-organizer of the Sukkah City project, explains what drove him. As you could expect, Simchat Torah is a holiday very near and dear to The Scroll‘s heart.
