Re: dance of death

[klezmer <klezmer...>]

I'm familiar with the T'khiyes-Hameysim Tants/Dance of Resurrection -  but I have never seen one danced.  My understanding is that two men fight, one "accidentally" kills the other, but with the help of bronfn, the killee is revived.  All in the context of the khasene, like the broyges tants.

Would be interested to read an eye-witness report (and which community it took place in, when, what city, etc.) - and also, what is the ostensible purpose?
