The Torah Dance

Dry Bones cartoon,Israel,Jewish,Holidays,Simchat Torah, Torah,Dispersion,

It's Simchat Torah, and one aspect of this "Joy in the Torah" holiday is the tradition of dancing while holding the Torah.

In Chabad Hasidic thought, the dancing with the Torah allows the Jew to symbolically act as the "feet" of the Torah. For hasn't it been our mission to carry the Torah and its teachings to the farthest corners of our dispersion?

So the dance is either a simple act of joy or it's a deep and serious metaphor for our "Light unto the Natons" task.
Or maybe both.
