Hi Everyone,
 
Another fun session last week, enhanced by out-of-towners/friends we've not seen for awhile.  Looking forward to more of the same this week!
 
So unless you've been living under a rock, you are well aware that Israel, in the person of Netta Barzilay, won this year's Eurovision contest.  Big congrats to her and kol hakavod!  Her song, Toy, is already an Israeli dance (by Elad Shtamer).  I have to say that I really don't get this song, but congrats anyway.  Oh, and here is Elad's dance: Toy - Dance by Elad Shtamer
 
What I do like though is her cover of A-Ba-Ni-Bi.  Watch here to see Yizhar Cohen (the original singer) react!  A-Ba-Ni-Bi - Netta
 
Big Big News! - Yaron Malichi, choreographer and markid par excellence is joining Eran Bitton and Dror Davidi as a guest instructor for Machol Merkaz 2018 (October 25-28).  And it gets even better.  We are going back to OSRUI in Oconomowoc, WI.  We are so excited!!! Watch www.macholmerkaz.com for updates. WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO OPENING REGISTRATION.  STAY TUNED. 😎
 
 This week's shout out:
  • To Harriette - thanks so much for covering for Anna these past two weeks.  Much appreciated!
  • To Becky - great having you with us.  Hurry back!
  • To Rhea and Janet - always great to have you guys from Indy with us.  We hope you make good on your threat to come more regularly!
  • To Sarah - we wish nisiya tova u'betucha to you and the kids you are leading on your trip to Israel.
  • To Dit - congratulations on this very big birthday you are celebrating this weekend!  Ad me'a k'esrim!  😉  And congrats to your kids Blythe, Bobby and Jerrold.
Time to start thinking about this year's Chicago Jewish Festival which will be on Sunday, June 10 in Morton Grove.  Find more at JewishFestival.org.
  
Looking forward to seeing everyone this week!

June 29th-July 1  Toronto IsReal 2018
Hi Everyone,
 
It is the Bar-Mitzva year of the Toronto IsReal Dance Festival and we are looking forward to a great year.  We have with us Elad Shtamer, Rafi Ziv and have added a fantastic energetic choreographer who has never been to our festival, Eli Segal.
 
Note that we are inviting our youth (25 years and under) to join us for free so that we can encourage these young people to keep the tradition of Israeli folk dancing alive.
 
The excitement is building here in Toronto and we can’t wait.
 
Take note of our schedule (following) It has changed from previous years.  We have our pre-festival dance evening as always and then we begin our festival on Friday morning and we end the festival on a high note on Sunday afternoon.
 
Book your rooms early  with the Madison Boutique as we do not have the Holiday Inn this year.
 
Take advantage of our early bird special pricing  (May 15th) and check us out on our website for more information www.israelidancetoronto.com
 
Looking forward to seeing you all here in Toronto again this year.
 
Sofie & Inbal

Dances Taught at Beketzev Acher 2018
Here are the dances that were taught at Beketzev Acher 2018.  
 
And I have been asked to share my thoughts about the dances.  See my comments after the list below.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So, there was a time when I would provide a detailed review of dances taught at camps I attended.  But sometimes these reviews got taken personally in spite of my intentions to the contrary.  I have, as of late, taken a different approach.  I will simply identify dances that I have presented or expect we will present in Chicago Israeli Dancing.  They are included either due to feedback I have received from our people, or because I think we should be trying specific dances on for size in our group.  Time will tell as to whether we actually follow through with the plan, as well as whether other dances from the weekend make it into our program.
 
Ma Asita Bachayim - catchy circle dance by Shmulik Gov-Ari
El Adon - beautiful and relatively easy waltz by Shmulik Gov-Ari
Arba Onot - fun circle dance by Gadi Bitton
Balev - beautiful but challenging parter dance by Gadi Bitton
Meshuga'im - high energy circle dance by Gadi Bitton
Linshom Ktzat - fun circle dance by Dudu Barzilay
Chameish Milim - fun/funky partner dance by Dudu Barzilay
Anachnu Po - fun, and relatively easy circle dance by Michael Barzilay
Kach Oti - fun partner dance by Shlomo Maman and making the rounds in Israel

Videos Reference Section
Links to videos of dances taught during a given week appear in the dances taught section.  This section here is an alphabetized compendium to links of dances taught over time. The dates provided are for the most recent teach of the dances.  (BTW, I try hard to make sure I provide working links. If you encounter a problem, please let me know.  And please be aware that the Rokdim.Co.IL site has undergone major changes.  Many links may not work, so please let me know when you find problems.  IT WILL BE A MULTI WEEK PROJECT FOR ME TO CORRECT THE ROKDIM LINKS BELOW.  So far, I think the links are correct all the way through the letter "I." IN THE INTERIM, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO DIRECTLY TO ROKDIM.CO.IL AND DO YOUR OWN SEARCH.)

For those who try to find Israeli dance videos on line, I wanted to make sure you know that you can find many of them at:
 
Rokdim
 
You can watch the whole video there on the site.  And if you want to download it, you can make arrangements to purchase it there.  I do believe that for the most part, once a dance makes it on to the Rokdim site, it is less likely to change than dances published only in other places. This is not an absolute rule of the universe, but in general I believe it is so. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of this resource.
 
Here is an important note about the site from Yaron Meishar who owns Rokdim:
 
Dear reader.
From today, for watching "Rokdim" videos full-length, must browse the site with your e-mail and password (If you are not yet registered please do it here: Register) so the site will identifies you with your name. In addition, you have to be registered for receiving an e-mails from "Rokdim".  Without those 2 conditions the video will appear for 20 seconds only.  Please accept it with understanding
 
Thank you!!!
Yaron Meishar, Director
Hebrew:
מהיום, כדי לצפות בסרטוני "רוקדים" באורך מלא, יש לגלוש באתר  עם אימיל וסיסמה, (כאן  Rokdim Home Page - Englishנרשמים: )  כך שהאתר מזהה את הגולש בשמו.
בנוסף יש להיות רשום גם לקבלת אימילים מ"רוקדים".  
ללא 2 תנאים אלה הסרטון יופיע ל-20 שניות בלבד
אנא קבלו זאת בהבנה
ירון מישר

  • We are happy to share with you the news that our daughter-in-law, Rachael, has initiated a project to help address the serious problem of wasted food in this country and elsewhere. (Did you know that something like 40% of the food we produce goes to waste?) So Rachael has created a web page called Eat or Toss.com with the intent of helping people to know what's safe to consume and when as food ages. Please check out the site!
