COMMENTS & FEEDBACK |
To show our love for the country of Israel and solidarity with its citizens, IsraeliDancesAtlanta, an extension of RikudAtlanta, danced in our session, among others, the following dances:
Artzi, Nof Yaldut, Eretz Eretz, Eretz Israel Yafa, Nagni Kineret,
Bapardes, Tishmeru al Atmechem,
Machol Hashalom, Tevorchi Artzi,
Be'har Hagilbo'a, and Rak Beyachad Nenatze'ach.
We followed the lyrics of Tevorchi Artzi and danced Rak Beyachad Nenatze'ach twice after we talked, as a group, about the meaning of the song. Thanks to www.hebrewsongs.com for providing us with the English translations.
This dance session was a meaningful teaching opportunity for our younger dancers, in particular, to connect with and to support Israel duing this difficult period. We found this experience very moving and it brought us closer together as a community. We wanted to share this idea with all of you. We feel that this illustrates the power of Rikudei Am to unite us.

Through your search engine, I have been able to track down some songs

and then search on your site and find...the beautiful songs."

"hello" from France. Thanks for your site.
I've found the great song of Lior Narkis "Le Kol Echad" in phonetic,

! I play keyboards with friends and it's really a need to have lyrics,
because I don't read Hebrew. Thanks again."

Many thanks
for a wonderful service and particularly in regard to the Hebrew songs.

"Your song website is lovely.
I teach approximately 400 children ranging from Kinder (5year olds )
to Grade 12 (17 year olds) at several Hebrew schools near my home.
I've been doing this for over 20 years.
In an attempt to give some meaning to some of the dances I have been giving
short ideas about the meaning of the songs words.
I am going to teach Or Chadash to my teenagers and thought you might have
access to the Hebrew words and the translation."
Jill
from Long Island, USA
I just saw
your Hebrew songs site.
What a fantastic concept!
If only the internet had been around when I was a madrich -
it would have made my job then a lot easier.
