No Israeli Dancing Tomorrow, Try English Country Dancing

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

We will not be Israeli Dancing tomorrow Monday July 18. Israeli Dancing will resume Monday July 25. Try English Country Dancing tomorrow night from 7 to 9:30, lesson at 6:30, at United Church of Gainesville, 1624 NW 5 Ave. $5

My mother Edith Weitzen passed away today. I will be sitting Shiva, the traditional Jewish mourning practice, with my sisters at my and my mother's home. It is traditional, for anyone that wishes, to attend the services and to visit the family at the house. There is no need to call, but if you want, my number is 352-327-3672. Here is the schedule.

If you would like to visit, your presence only is more than appreciated by the family and you do not need to bring anything. If you like, there is no expectation, you can bring something for the family and guests to eat. I keep a kosher-ish home, which means, you can bring anything that does not have meat. If you want to make a donation, you can donate to Congregation B'nai Israel, 3830 NW 16 Blvd, Gainesville, FL 32605 or visit www.bnaigainesville.com

Happy Dancing,
Andy

Dance Quotes

The traditional Friday night song a husband sings to his wife.

Eishet Chayil

A Woman of Valor, who can find? She is more precious than corals.
Her husband places his trust in her and profits only thereby.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She seeks out wool and flax and cheerfully does the work of her hands.

She is like the trading ships, bringing food from afar.
She gets up while it is still night to provide food for her household, and a fair share for her staff.
She considers a field and purchases it, and plants a vineyard with the fruit of her labors.
She invests herself with strength and makes her arms powerful.

She senses that her trade is profitable; her light does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff and her palms hold the spindle.
She opens her hands to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
She has no fear of the snow for her household, for all her household is dressed in fine clothing.

She makes her own bedspreads; her clothing is of fine linen and luxurious cloth.
Her husband is known at the gates, where he sits with the elders of the land.
She makes and sells linens; she supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is robed in strength and dignity, and she smiles at the future.

She opens her mouth with wisdom and a lesson of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks after the conduct of her household and never tastes the bread of laziness.
Her children rise up and make her happy; her husband praises her:
"Many women have excelled, but you excell them all!"

Grace is elusive and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears God -- she shall be praised.
Give her credit for the fruit of her labors, and let her achievements praise her at the gates.
