Hey all.  
 
Thanks everyone who came out last week.  We'll continue to do our best to dance safely, now with boosters, and of course masks, required.  (See below for instructions on how to get your booster information to me, by Wednesday please.)
 
With thanks for information from Ophir, we honored the memory of Yoram Taharlev z"l, lyricist for an amazing number of our Israeli dances, who just passed away.  Here are some examples:  Hahar Hayarok, Sulam Ya'akov, Al Kapav Yavie, Artzi, Atzei Hatzaftzafot, Bapardes Leyah Hashoket...  The ADB credits him with 129 dances!  Dances with lyrics from Yoram Taharlev.
Also, check out his website.  Very interesting.  Who knew?  Yoram Taharlev
