Congratulations again to everyone on how well you are doing in Israeli Folk Dancing 101. You learned three more dances this week. That is ten dances in three weeks, which is a lot. It is more than I originally intended to do with you, but you have done so well, we kept moving on.
Article: Dances From Week 3 of Israeli Folk Dancing 101
Congratulations again to everyone on how well you are doing in Israeli Folk Dancing 101. You learned three more dances this week. That is ten dances in three weeks, which is a lot. It is more than I originally intended to do with you, but you have done so well, we kept moving on.
Some of you even stayed for the second hour from 8 to 9 pm and held your own through the entire evening.
The next class is next Monday, October 3 from 7 to 8 pm. We likely will just review the ten dances we have learned and not add anything new, unless we have time left over in the first hour. You are invited to stay for the second hour and keep dancing with us until 9.

After October 3, we will continue to dance on Monday nights from 7 to 9 pm and build on the dances you have learned.
If you know of anyone that would like to start, bring them at 7 pm.
If you have not done so already, sign up for the Israeli and Folk Dance newsletter at www.GainesvilleDance.com. It is the second newsletter on the left side.
These older dances were commonly known as Israeli Folk Dances. Current dances are known simply as Israeli Dances, because current dances are done to popular music, while much of the folk dances were done to folk music.
You learned three dances this week. Here they are with links to a video.

Article: Forgiveness
Article: Forgiveness
Rabbi Abba (the scribe of the Zohar) once sat at the gateway of the Town of Lud, where he saw a traveler sit down on a pile of rocks at the edge of a mountain overlooking a cliff. The man was exhausted for his journey and immediately fell asleep. R. Abba watched this innocuous scene for a bit until to his dismay he watched as a deadly snake slithered out of the rocks making its way towards to the sleeping man. R. Abba, who for some reason was immobilized and transfixed by this unfolding drama, suddenly watched as a new turn of events happened. A giant lizard jumped out between the rocks and killed the serpent. R. Abba continued watching and saw that the man stood up and was perplexed to see a beheaded snake lying in front of him. He quickly gathered his possessions and rose to continue his journey. At that instant the pile of rocks he was sitting on collapsed and fell into the ravine below. The man was about to wander off when R. Abba ran after him and recounted everything he had witnessed. R. Abba asked the man, "My friend to what do you attribute all these miracles that just transpired?"
The traveler at first did not want to be bothered but felt the sincerity of R. Abba's question and confided in him. "1) Throughout my life I have never let a person harm me, and where I did not pacify him; 2) Never have I gone to sleep without forgiving someone for hurting me in any way; 3) Anyone who would hurt me would I endeavor, with all my heart, to resolve whatever animosity was between us; 4) And lastly, I would go out of my way to perform acts of kindness for the person involved in the misunderstanding." When R. Abba heard this he burst into tears. This person's actions were greater than Joseph, for Joseph had to deal with his brothers, who he was certainly going to forgive, while this man forgives anyone and everyone who has harmed him.
It's up to us to forgive others, passively and actively, so that we may merit forgiveness of our own, and a prosperous and successful year to come!
