«Local yeshiva high schools send joint letter urging celebration but also restraintKol Tuv,
The principals of six Jewish high schools serving northern New Jersey sent a joint letter to parents urging vigilance in the face of teenage drinking on Simchat Torah, "to guarantee that this special time of holiness will not degenerate into the opposite kind of experience for anyone."
Nobody is sure how alcohol consumption became a tradition of this holiday, which celebrates the completion of the yearly Torah-reading cycle.»
