Today is "simchat torah" which literally means joy of the torah signifying when the last parasha (torah passage) is read and the torah reading is started all over again. It is also called the rolling of the scroll (in the olden days, the torah was written on scrolls, not bound books like we have today). The significance for us Christians is that the word of the Lord is a joy, we are opportuned to read the word, go through every scripture and re read the word. What a blessing!
Psalm 19:7-10 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
