Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, Shalom, it is your executive producer Courtney Hazlett. This week I've got a huge announcement. We are

launching the Simchat Torah challenge and we want you to be a part of it. Have a

listen to our own Tanya singer and Talia Elkin as they share how you can become part of this movement.

Then stick around after our conversation for a trip back to Israel and the world's

largest Torah Scroll collection. Tanya Singer, Talya Elkin, tell us about the Simchut Torah Challenge.

It's an effort that came to us through one of our foundational friends at the Dan and Margaret

Lobe Family Foundation and the foundation put together this group of Jewish institutions that I don't think has ever all worked together on one single effort.

So it's tablet magazine, Safaria, several different Chabad's including Chabad's publication house.

It's an incredible group. We are thrilled to be part of it.

The goal is to create a movement of 10,000 Jews, hopefully more,

who want to follow the

the parcha each week. It's not a heavy lift. All it requires is

subscribing to an email and we'll provide lots of ways for people to learn and

follow the parcha, but it's something we believe will really bring light to these difficult days.

So backing up just a little bit, we hear about the Parsha every week.

Why does this seem like the right vehicle for gathering Jews

together? What is it about this project that is going to be so unifying?

So for Dan Logue, this is a very personal effort

and for years now he has been learning Torah.

And in thinking about all the ways

that he could make an impact for the Jewish people in this moment.
