1874 Amer. Jewish Chron. 9 Nov. 18/2 Historically, Jews have been in the habit of celebrating to the fullest..the important events of their lives. Thus, births, Bar Mitzvas, marriages, etc., have been acknowledged by simchahs.

1914 Sat. Evening Post 12 Dec. 15/3 ‘Nu, Sammet..you look like a young feller to-night. What's the simcha?’ Leon waved both hands in the air. ‘It's all right, Margonin,’ he shouted; ‘I admit it, I'm fifty-five.’

1932 L. Golding Magnolia St. ii. ii. 295 Perhaps, after all, it'll be a good match. There will be a simchah.

1957 Independent Star-News (Pasadena, Calif.) 22 Oct. 12/7 A characteristic feature of a simcheh is an ample supply of delectable kosher foods.

2002 Jewish Chron. 2 Aug. 51/3 (advt.) Memorable simchas, beautifully catered with imagination and style to your budget.

2017 Jerusalem Post (Nexis) 15 Sept. 31 Can Jews who practice their Judaism very differently still come together for family simchas?
