Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on hakafot, the Jewish practice of processional circuits with the Torah scrolls, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, continuously edited encyclopedia entry rather than a peer reviewed or institutional source. It is useful here for a well referenced general summary of its liturgical occasions, and is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation. NotesWikipedia's article on hakafot, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the word's literal meaning, Conservative rabbi Reuven Hammer's dating of the custom's present form to sixteenth century Safed, and its comparative count of circuits across ordinary Sukkot, Hoshana Raba and Simchat Torah, standard reference facts.
