And What Interests the ResidentsSomething other than a movie for a Sunday afternoonWatching a live demonstration of dancingInteraction with the outside world
The Introductions
• First, Mike gives an introduction• Next Naomi introduces the group• Before each dance, Naomi gives a short synopsis of the lyrics• In fact, before doing S’ana (capital of Yemen) she includes the
audience in the dance by instructing them on arm movements
And The Dancing Begins
The Cherry Hill group circles and circles, goes inside and out, dances
into the circle and dances outside to the
audience
For the residents, It is a sea of Black and Blue
The dancing ends with a round of
applauseAnd a word of thanks
And the residents are on their way
A different Sunday afternoon at Brith Sholom House. A live demonstration as opposed to a
movie.
