While the mood of the Prayer for Rain echoes the High Holy Days, Simchat Torah switches into a different religious gear. In the evening service, the Torah scrolls are removed from the ark and carried around the synagogue in a procession, a hakafah, seven times. Between each circuit, there is much singing and dancing: children often sport flags specially made for the occasion, sometimes with an apple pinned on top of the stick.
