This is in the prayers read after the whole Torah service on Simchat Torah. Right before we return the Torah scrolls to the ark, there are some beautiful poems about rejoicing on the festival that some congregations recite.

The Words

Translation


Sisu Vesimchu B'simchat Torah
Ut'nu kavod laTorah
Ki tov sachra mikol sechora
Mipaz umip'ninim yekara
 
Nagil venasis b'zot haTorah
Ki hi lanu oz ve'ora
 
More text in the Jewish prayerbook


Rejoice and be merry on Simchat Torah
And give honor to the Torah!
For her reward is greater than any business,
More valuable than jewels.
We shall rejoice and be merry on Simchat Torah,
For it is for us strength and light.
