October 9, 2012: Jews rejoiced with the Torah in Isaac’s Hall (Ulam Yizchak) in Hevron on Monday night for a second round of Hakafot, an Israeli tradition that combines identifying with the Diaspora’s Simchat Torah night and the added festive atmosphere of live bands and sound systems at the dancing, forbidden on the holiday itself.
Ulam Yitzchak is the main hall of the Cave of the Patriarchs (Me’arat Hamachpela) which is the burial cave and tombs of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, and Leah
