QUICK SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT:  On behalf of Congregation Beth Emet, please do not leave the outside door(s) propped open ever!  That compromises the security system.  Also please familiarize yourself with various emergency exits, both on the main floor and in the dance room.
 
NEW!!! Emergency Contact Information

For anyone who participates in CID (and later for Machol Merkaz), our new protocol is to ask all our people to complete the Emergency Contact google form that follows.  That information will be kept private and will only be available to CID/MMZ leadership.  And it will only be used if needed in case of emergency.
 
Here is the URL for the form: https://forms.gle/9Lq4M1LVvsns2Vrx6  Here is a QR code that gets you to the same place:

 
SCENT-FREE ZONE! We have to remind everyone to come "scent free."  PLEASE DON'T WEAR PERFUME, COLOGNE, HAIR PRODUCTS, ETC.  We have people who have severe allergic reactions to those things and it is very important that we look out for everyone in our community.

Machol Merkaz 2025!!!
Here's the big news:  We are thrilled to welcome Hila Mukdasi to the team! Hila is an outstanding markida who has become tremendously popular in Israel and at camps and workshops around the world. She truly is a wonderful addition to a great Machol Merkaz 2025 team!

 
We are very excited to share our Machol Merkaz 2025 registration info with you. We look forward to your joining us from October 23-26 at our beloved OSRUI in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.  (watch for updates on www.macholmerkaz.com)

So, you can see why we are excited to welcome back our founding Israeli teachers, Dror and Eran, and to welcome Hila. 
 
And we are totally thrilled to share with you the design for the Machol Merkaz 2025 Tshirt, courtesy of our designer extraordinaire, Carol Neiger.
 
  
And in Carol's words:
 
About this campaign
Machol Merkaz 2025 – The Rising Hol
רוקדים ΧœΧ¨Χ™Χ€Χ•Χ™ Χ•ΧœΧ©ΧœΧ•Χ
 
In Jewish tradition, the Hol (Χ—Χ•Χœ) is a mythical bird mentioned in the Talmud β€” a phoenix that never dies, symbolizing faith, endurance, and eternal hope.
From this flame, our Hol rises β€” not in destruction, but in renewal.
Three dancers emerge from the fire: two men and one woman, their movement reflecting a journey from sorrow to strength.  Created in the shadow of October 7, this design is a tribute to our power to rise β€” together β€” through memory, through movement, and through spirit.  This dance is our healing. This flame is our hope.

We look forward to Machol Merkaz 2025 - October 23-26!  ❀️❀️❀️  Oh, and look above to see recordings of the evening harkadot.
And that's not all! 
Courtesy of videographer extraordinare, David Yufit enjoy this Machol Merkaz 2024 Video Montage.  Please follow the following link to access copies of the Dances Taught music and videos, and a the play lists from the various harkadot.  Machol Merkaz 2024 Materials.  BTW, follow this link if you would like to see the playlists: Machol Merkaz 2024 Info 
 
The Machol Merkaz 2024 T-shirts and merchandise are still available.  When you purchase a Machol Merkaz t-shirt, you support scholarships for Machol Merkaz!  There are two shops that support Machol Merkaz Scholarships.

https://chicago-israeli-dance.myspreadshop.com/

https://www.bonfire.com/store/machol-merkaz-merchandise-with-meaning/

The reason for the two shops is the availability of products.  You have to peruse both shops to see the variety of styles available. The images above are a very small illustration of what is in each shop.
 
Inspiration and Elements:
The 50th Anniversary of Chicago Israeli Dancing is commemorated through our special t-shirt design. This design blends several key themes:
  1. Colorful Circular Rings: These rings draw colors from the Machol Merkaz logo and abstractly represent a vinyl record, paying homage to the media we were using for Israeli dance music in the 1970s.
  2. Tie-in To Our Name, Machol Merkaz: "We dance in the center" – the circular theme captures this essence perfectly.
  3. Message of Resilience: "We won’t stop dancing" is proudly displayed on the back in both English and Hebrew, symbolizing our unwavering spirit and passion for dance. This serves as a tribute to survivors, honors those who did not survive the events of October 7, and conveys a message of hope for the safe return of the hostages.
You have to peruse both shops to see the variety of styles available. You'll find a large assortment of options there!

Machol Manhattan - Exciting News!
courtesy of Rina and Ilan...
Dear Dancers,
 
PLEASE CHECK WITH ILAN AND RINA FOR SCHEDULE CHANGES
 
Great news! Machol Manhattan is dancing in its new home, Manhattan Country School - 150 W 85th St - on Thursday from 7:30-11:30pm. 
 
MCS is between Columbus Ave and Amsterdam Ave, closer to Amsterdam. It is about mid-way between the 1 train and the B and C trains (a bit closer to the 1) at their respective 86th St stations.
 
When you arrive, the outer doors will be unlocked. If you arrive prior to 9:15pm, there will be someone at the security desk to let you into the inner door. After 9:15, you have to contact a dancer inside to let you in. The gym is one flight up the grand marble staircase. If needed, there is also an elevator.  A bathroom is available on the first floor straight in from the entrance; there is a single use bathroom adjacent to the gym as well, and a water fountain.
 
Beginner teaching and dancing as usual from 7:30-8:15pm, immediately followed by intermediate-advanced dancing and teaching until 11:30pm.
 
Thank you to everyone who participated in our last session at Romemu and made it such a special night (see pic below).
 
We are excited to dance with you on our first night at Manhattan Country School!
 
Ilan and Rina

Our WhatsApp Group
I use our WhatsApp Group, Chicago Israeli Dancing, especially for time-critical communications.  Chicago folks especially, I strongly encourage you to join the group.  Of course, if you are not on WhatsApp yet, this is a prerequisite for joining the group.  Once you are on WhatsApp, PM me and I will add you to the group.  😊
8. For IFD Camp/Workshop Directors of the Americas (North, Central, and South)
Dear IFD Camp/Workshop Directors of the Americas (North, Central, and South)
 
Our friend Nona Malki approached me and asked if I would be willing to set up a WhatsApp group for all of us. (I said yes 😊) In particular, she wanted to make it easy for us to share dates regarding events we are planning, specifically with the intent of avoiding inadvertent date conflicts. While we are all aware that there are ways to publicize our dates once we have them (e.g. JewishAustralia, Rokdim, Facebook, etc.), some of us don’t always have access to these sites or we simply forget to check.  So, at the moment, we don’t have an interactive way to reach out to each other to discuss events/dates we are contemplating.
 
Please join this group and let’s use it to communicate with each other. Of course, feel free to use this group to discuss things that you think will be of interest to your fellow leaders. And please let Phil know who else should be added to the group.
 
To join the group, you must be on WhatsApp.  Please friend Phil (+1 312 519 8669) on WhatsApp and then let him know you would like to join the group.  
 
Thanks much.  Phil (and Nona)
