Quotes:

(Quick note: while we dance for fun, Jewish culture and the Torah are intimately woven into Israeli dancing. So occassionally I like to share some with you. Last week's parsha (Torah portion) was loaded and included these verses.)

- Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart and be no more stiffnecked. ~ Deuteronomy 10:16

- Behold, unto the Lord your God belongs the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that therein is. ~ Dueteronomy 10:14

- And now Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, to keep for your good the commandments of the Lord. ~ Deuteronomy 10:12-13

Hopefully I will have a mini-lesson for the "Shim-sham"-one of the first line dances; done to swing music made popular in the late 1920's. Remember-"no excuses! Hope to see you on the dance floor.
