Florida Folk Festival, Israeli, International, English

Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
 
The Florida Folk Festival is this weekend at Stephen Foster Memorial Park in White Springs, about an hour and half north of Gainesville off of I-75.
 
At 3:00 pm the Klezmer band Chutzpah is playing on the main stage. From 5 to 7 pm, I will be joining Chutzpah to lead a Klezmer dance on the Heritage stage. What is a Klezmer dance? Good question. I don't know, but I will think of something. Hope to see you there.

Happy Dancing,
Andy

Good News, Israeli, Men and Women, Shavuot International, English

Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
 
Congratulations to Karen Cohen leading what I believe to be was her first Israeli dance session. No Israeli Dancing at B'nai Israel this Thursday due to Shavuot.
 
Good news for Israeli Dancers and congratulations to Kol Simcha on their new building. Kol Simcha is holding regular Israeli Dancing on Wednesday nights led by the incomparable Joseph Simpkins.
 
Can women really teach men to lead and can men really teach women to follow? Tuesday night starts Shavuot the traditional holiday of study. See the article for the pitfalls of men and women studying together.
 
Happy Dancing and Hag Sameach,
Andy

-----------------------------------------------------------
Article: Can Men and Women Study Together
 
A question that has been on my mind is can women really teach men and can men really teach women how to dance? Which brings us to ...
 
The holiday of Shavuot is 50 days after Passover, when the Jewish people received the Torah at Mount Sinai.
 
The tradition is that every Jewish soul was there and so there is a popular Jewish singles website called www.SawYouAtSinai.com.
 
While every other Jewish holiday is legislated with mitzvoth (laws from Hashem), Shavuot has none except to keep it as a day of rest. Consequently, Shavuot has possibly more minhag (customs) than any other holiday.
 
Among the minhag are studying all night (makes sense, we did get the Torah) and eating New York cheesecake (well we are Jewish). Traditionally men and women study separately, but today we frequently study together.
 
I heard a Rabbi speak about relationships and this is the story he told.
 
"The traditional male method for studying Jewish law is through argumentation. You get a study partner and argue over minutiae to get to the truth. A typical study session goes like this."
 
"First guy, 'Nu, so what do you think of such and such?'
 
"The second guy starts to respond when the first guy rudely interrupts, "What are you crazy? Did you even read the commentary? You missed the entire point!'
 
"And the argument begins. It gets your blood boiling. The discussions are heated and kibitzers jump in. We love it.
 
"So I was excited when my wife said to me one day that she wanted to study Torah with me.
 
"We got out the Torah portion and I said to her, 'Nu, so what do you think of such and such?'
 
"She was delighted that I asked her opinion. When she started to answer, I interrupted and said, "What are you crazy? Did you even read the commentary? You missed the entire point!'
 
"I was ready for the fun to begin, but to my shock, that did not go over so well.
 
"She started to cry.
 
"And that is one difference between men and women.

Mary Landrieu accepted $750,000 from oil and gas companies, Stop New Offshore Drilling

From: Andrea W., Care2 Action Alerts

$11.5 million. That's how much money oil and gas interests have donated to members of Congress so far in the 2010 election cycle.1

Who is going to stand up in defense of our fragile oceans?

We must head-off Big Oil's PR campaign and stop new offshore drilling now »
In a speech on the Senate floor after last week's horrific disaster, Louisiana's own Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) said "We must continue
to drill." All told, she's accepted over $750,000 from oil and gas companies.2

If our elected leaders are to act in defense of our precious oceans and coastlines, they need to hear loud and clear from their
constituents -- from you and me.

Stop future oil disasters before they happen -- demand a moratorium on new offshore drilling »
There is no such thing as a "safe" oil drill. We must end our addiction to dirty fossil fuels, and stand up to Big Oil's money and
influence in Washington.

Join me and demand elected leaders protect our oceans.
Thanks for making a difference.

Andrea W.

Protect Florida beaches from offshore oil drilling constitutional amendment ban

------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
From: Alex Sink
 
http://action.alexsink2010.com/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=15&tag=drillingban_petition_email

Yesterday, I took my third trip to Florida's Panhandle this week.  And as I spoke with Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, and local business leaders, I told them what I've been seeing and hearing from Floridians since the news of the oil spill began -- that we are worried about the threat to our economy, to many Floridians' livelihoods, to our way of life.

And like nearly every conversation I've had as we watch the oil move towards Florida beaches, this one also ended with the same resolve:

We cannot risk having another accident like this anywhere near Florida's beaches.

That's why I'm working for a constitutional amendment banning drilling off of our coast. It's the only way this will never happen again.

Click here to add your voice in support of a constitutional amendment banning drilling in Florida state waters.

I'm working around the clock to ensure Floridians impacted by this disaster are receiving the help they need -- and we still don't know just how bad things are going to get. I've also taken BP to task for their lack of responsiveness and helped cut some of the red-tape our coastal communities are facing.

But one thing is perfectly clear: Drilling near our beaches is not worth the risk to our businesses and our livelihoods.

I know you agree.

Join me in safeguarding our beautiful state, our coastline, and our economy for future generations: Support our call for a constitutional amendment to ban drilling.

I will continue to fight to make sure BP is held accountable, and that they take responsibility for the costs of this disastrous oil spill.

But while we're working hard to clean up this mess, we have to do everything we can to prevent the next disaster. We must work together to ban oil drilling off Florida's beaches now.

Time, as they say, is a-wasting.

Thank you for helping me protect Florida's economy and our future.
Sincerely,

Alex Sink

Article: The Birds and the Bees
 
When I was about ten my Dad had "the Birds and the Bees" talk with me.
 
He sat me down in the backyard and started.
 
"If you go next door and climb in Cathy Patterson's window," he began.
 
Cathy was the cute girl who lived up the hill, next to us, and was my sister's best friend. Her window was on the second floor and would be impossible to get into without a ladder. Plus there was the difficulty of removing the screen. These were my thoughts then.
 
"And get in Cathy's bed, Mr. Patterson will punch you in the nose," he poured out his wisdom.
 
"Why would I get in Cathy's bed?" I wondered to myself. "It would be cramped and uncomfortable with the two of us in a little bed," was my only thought.
 
"Do you understand what I am telling you?" my Dad asked.
 
"Sure Dad, I understand," I assured him.
 
He seemed satisfied. That was the end of my education on the subject.
 
I cannot think I have heard any better advise about women since then.

Article: The Birds and the Bees
 
When I was about ten my Dad had "the Birds and the Bees" talk with me.
 
He sat me down in the backyard and started.
 
"If you go next door and climb in Cathy Patterson's window," he began.
 
Cathy was the cute girl who lived up the hill, next to us, and was my sister's best friend. Her window was on the second floor and would be impossible to get into without a ladder. Plus there was the difficulty of removing the screen. These were my thoughts then.
 
"And get in Cathy's bed, Mr. Patterson will punch you in the nose," he poured out his wisdom.
 
"Why would I get in Cathy's bed?" I wondered to myself. "It would be cramped and uncomfortable with the two of us in a little bed," was my only thought.
 
"Do you understand what I am telling you?" my Dad asked.
 
"Sure Dad, I understand," I assured him.
 
He seemed satisfied. That was the end of my education on the subject.
 
I cannot think I have heard any better advise about women since then.
