In this episode of Meet Me At the Tzomet (the Intersection) Rabbi Arnie Samlan, of Jewish Connectivity talks about Powerlessness and Powerfullness.
While Jewish holidays are primarily mandated by the Torah, Simchat Torah is slightly different. It was created when the Jews went into the diaspora and was created as a populous holiday. It gave the opportunity for the community to celebrate the torah themselves. This is similar to the Occupy movement where people took their own power back.
