Re: Fwd: Re: Passion Plays and Jewish Music

[Helen Winkler <winklerh...>]

Would just like to add that the people who wanted me to help them with their
Passion Play production did not know that Passion Plays were used
historically as instruments of anti-Semitism.  They also didn't know that
Israeli music and dance are not thousands of years old.  They did not know
the history of Israeli folk dance nor what this dance form was supposed to
symbolize for Jews at the time it was first created.  Once I explained some
of this it made them stop and think.  Where it will lead, I don't know.
