Article: Dances From Week 3 of Israeli Folk Dancing 101
Congratulations to everyone on your progress in Israeli Folk Dancing 101
on Monday. You surprised me. I did not expect you would be able to do last
week's dances so well and that we would be able to learn three new dances.
The next class is next Monday, September 26 from 7 to 8 pm.
Be sure to go to www.GainesvilleDance.com and
sign up for the Israeli and Folk Dance newsletter.
It is the second newsletter on the left side.
You can also sign up for the Swing, Ballroom and Social Dance newsletter.
All the dances we are learning are from what I like to call the classic period of Israeli dancing.
These are the dances from the early years of the re-born state of Israel up to about 1980.
The first dance was done around 1924. Of course, the real first dance goes back to ancient times,
as it is written "David danced and leapt before the Lord."
You learned three dances on Monday night. Here they are with links to a video.
1. Klezmer (Aveinu Shalom Aleichem)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ0uXBARBMc
2. Ma Navu
www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IUJ0cjYaq4
3. Yedid Nefesh
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCQLyiXlJH8
Following are links to the song lyrics of all the dances you have learned.
Eretz Eretz Eretz – Land, Land, Land
Eretz refers to the Land of Israel
www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=eretzeretzeretz
Klezmer - Instrumental only, but here is a link to another song
in the same tradition, Hevenu Shalom Aleichem which means Peace Unto You.
Shalom Aleichem is a traditional greeting from Eastern European Jewry.
www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=hevenushalomaleichem
Ma Navu - How Pleasant, from Isaiah
www.hebrewsongs.com/song-manavu.htm
Nigun Atik – Ancient Melody. A nigun is a song without words, often
hummed on Shabbat as a form of prayer and often before the meal between
washing hands and the motzi, the blessing over the bread, during which
time you are not supposed to speak.
www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=nigunatik
Od Lo Ahavti Dai – I Have Not Loved Enough, who has?
www.hebrewsongs.com/song-odloahavtidai.htm
Tzadik Katamar – Righteous Man Will Flourish, from Psalm 92, the Psalm for Shabbat.
www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=tzadikkatamar
Yedid Nefesh - Soul Mate, sung every Friday night to welcome the Shabbat,
as the Shabbat is symbolized as the bride of the People of Israel, Israel's soul mate.
www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=yedidnefesh
You can find links to videos of these dances on this page.

Happy Dancing and Shalom Aleichem,

Article: You Learn What You Are Ready to Learn
Article: Message for the Holiday Season, We Feel the Years Slipping Away
We can feel it in the air. Summer is falling away and as it does Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are upon us. Soon we will join with family and friends in what I know will be a memorable and sweet opportunity to share and celebrate. Nevertheless, the passage of time is palpable during this season and we feel the years slipping by even faster and faster.
