(I might have mentioned this in discussion of another topic long ago....)
The best hora I ever saw was a bunch of Serbs dancing to Hava Nagila. It was
a glorious sight to see, so that the thought went through my mind, "Oh,
THAT'S what a hora is supposed to be!"
I think we Jewish Americans have lost the knack for graceful group dancing.
What a shame. Maybe we could get scholarships to send our kids to Serbia...
Happy NY!
