“Immediately following Sukkot, we observe Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, a fun-filled day during which we celebrate the completion of the annual reading of the Torah and affirm Torah as one of the pillars on which we build our lives.
As part of the celebration, the Torah scrolls are taken from the ark and carried or danced around the synagogue seven times. During the Torah service, the concluding section of the fifth book of the Torah, D’varim (Deuteronomy), is read, and immediately following, the opening section of Genesis, or B’reishit, is read. This practice represents the cyclical nature of the relationship between the Jewish people and the reading of the Torah.
Historically, Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah were two separate holidays (a day of reflection after the end of Sukkot and a celebration of Torah the following day). However, in Israel and in Reform congregations, which generally observe one day of holidays rather than two, Sh’mini Atzeret is observed concurrently with Simchat Torah."

Andy won’t beat him up. He’ll make the guy pay for a pint.
On second thought, both, in that order.

Oh don’t worry, man. It’ll just be a biff and a bop or two, a flying hat and shoe, then it’ll be over.

Andy is sensitive to slights. He may take them from Flo; but nobody else.

Actually if he told that to Andy he’d probably say “And you point is?”.

Most people who say “I’d like to give him a piece of my mind!” don’ really have a piece worth sharing.

Go ahead and do it. You won’t be telling Andy anything he doesn’t already know.
