Since Biblical times, Jews have expressed joy through dance. Throughout the centuries, dance has become a part of religious, communal, and family celebrations. Regularly at TBZ's Kabbalat Shabbat (Friday evening) services, the congregation breaks into a spontaneous hora (dance) at the end of the L’cha Dodi prayer, perhaps dancing around a soon-to-be-married couple. In our transgenerational shul, 80-somethings join the circle, dancing with 50-somethings, 30-somethings. . . and even those under 10. Together, we pray with our minds and hearts and voices — and our bodies, as we dance around the sanctuary. Come join us!
