[HANASHIR:13515] Re: Od Yavo and Hal'luyah Info

[Julie Lockman <jules10...>]

Hi Chuck,

Sorry about emailing you directly but I just joined havanashir and haven¹t
figured out yet how to post messages!  In any case, I don¹t have background
for you on the songs, however I also teach Israeli folk dancing ( for kids
K-8th) and there is a terrific dance for ³Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu²  If you¹re
not already familiar with it, email me and I can find out the dance steps
for you, or maybe there is someone in your area who can help.  I haven¹t
done the dance before, but I know kids love it and it¹s fairly simple.
Might be sort of fun to try a different approach to teaching the song!

Best of luck,
Julie Lockman
