[quote=Anonymous]Very nice question. Just in case OP isn’t familiar with customs, signs that someone is “observant” would be things like wearing a kippah (yarmulke/skullcap), not working or taking calls etc on Saturday (Shabbat/Sabbath), eating kosher, going to an Orthodox or Modern Orthodox synagogue or some Conservative synagogues. If your friends do these things, there’s a chance they would be going to synagogue for Simchat Torah. It’s a fun holiday with a mini parade indoors and lots of singing and dancing. It’s often a family thing, the kind of event people attend when they’re trying to raise their kids with religious traditions. In terms of importance, I would equate it to approximately like Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, or Advent. Something people do if they do religious stuff regularly, but not something most people go out of the way for like Easter. HTH![/quote]
