And it don't stop

.....and just when I think all the fun is over and I publish the post, I am suddenly deafened by the sound of loud music and blinded by blinking lights. I look out the window and see out of nowhere, a spontaneous parade. What is the occasion? A Torah has been completed and is being delivered to a nearby synagogue. The entire community suddenly comes running out of their homes in order to join the procession, dancing and holding torches as traffic is stopped to let the parade pass. Is this real life?
