Just going thru some old e-mail, and I found this unread and unreplied.

Tara Publications has a book called "The Best of Jewish Folk Dance".

It was editted by Alan King and Velvel Pasternak, and may be ordered
thru the Tara web-site:
                                     http://www.jewishmusic.com

                                                   Cantor Neil Schwartz

P.S.  Ergo Media also has a videotape of Israeli folkdances, I think.
      If they have a web-site, you'll have to use Yahoo to find it.
