Tribal Dance
Didgeridoo, dance to the beat, get your drum circle on in a BIG WAY. It’s the Tribal Dance, oh free-spirited ones.
And it’s going down May 10th in Rishpon, a hair north of Tel Aviv. Check it.
Bible Contest Ban?
Independence Day also means Bible Contest Day.
But this year, says Jameel over at the Muqata, the contest may be in jeopardy…
The International Bible Contest for Jewish Youth is an impressive annual event, to which a number of young high school students come to Israel and meet with a similar number of Israeli youth, for a number of weeks enrich themselves with many experiences and deepen their connection to Israel, the traditions and the Bible. The process begins with in their own countries tests. The winners of those national contests, arriving in Israel will take part in the contest for overseas youth…and the successful ones will participate in the final contest on the Israeli Day of Independence in Jerusalem.
… counter-missionary group Yad L’Achim is endorsing a ban on this year’s contest — not because one of the contestants isn’t Jewish (which is clearly stated in the Mission Statement above), but because the contestant, 11th grade Israeli teenager Bat-El Levy from Jerusalem…is a follower of the “Jewish Messianic” sect of Christianity.
Yad L’Achim is currently in touch with Israel’s Ministry of Education and leading rabbis around Israel — calling for Bat-El to be disqualified from participating…or for all religious participants to boycott the contest.
Never a dull moment…geeyad
