First we will open our entire torah, with kids allowed to sit literally inside the scroll unfurled and engage with the stories and letters.

Then, after a very brief evening service (10 minutes!) we will begin the dancing, seven dances, each one faster and longer with different people carrying and dancing with our sifrei torah (now we have three!) and expressing gratitude that we are alive, together, we have our torah, and we have made it to this moment. Rumor has it that the dancing really goes there, now with a DJ and, of course, a band that doesn't quit. 

We will end with reading our Torah and beginning it right away once again, so that we are always in the midst of reading our torah. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day – with those words 5786 really begins.
