Raise your mask

Purim is right around the corner, and to get everyone in the mood, here’s an astoundingly good musical performance by the Ein Prat Fountainheads, a pre-army mechina (Academy for Leadership) located in Kfar Adumim near Jerusalem.
According to the academy’s website, it “was established in order to breathe new life into ancient values – to encourage high motivation for a significant military service in the IDF through reviving the Zionist heritage from its ruins.”
The students already cut their teeth a few months ago with their first video in honor of Hannukah – based on the Black Eyed Peas’ song “I Gotta Feeling.”
This one – based on Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” may even be better. Enjoy and let your inner Mordechai out.
The 12th day of Hanukka

I know, Hanukka is over, but here’s one more reminder of what fun it’s supposed to be.
A group of students who are studying in Israel at the Ein Prat Israel Academy for Leadership in Kfar Adumim decided to create their own Hanukka spiel – and recorded a video of the Black Eyed Peas song “I’ve Got a Feeling,” with a few appropriate changes for the Festival of Lights.
The clip by the American students, dubbed the Ein Prat Fountainheads, hasn’t received the same attention as the similar YouTube Hanukka tribute by the Maccabeats, the Yeshiva U a capella group, but it’s not bad.
“We wanted to come together to do a little project for Hanukka as a way of getting together to have fun, and as a way of brightening up the holiday for everybody else by putting it on the Web,” student leader Aaron Rotenberg told The Jerusalem Post.
The Ein Prat Academy where Rotenberg studies claims on its Web page to seek students who “aspire to become people who seek excellence in all aspects of their life – body, mind and soul. These young men and women are looking to develop into citizens who strive for a better Israeli society, a more advanced Jewish world, and a richer education for themselves and for others.”
Their Hanukka video isn’t a bad start.
Spontaneous Thriller
So, have you seen that video of Oprah opening her 24th season with a ‘spontaneous dance’/'flash mob dance’ along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile? If you haven’t, 
Story is that her staff — and 20,000 people — pulled off the surprise, for Oprah, of performing a choreographed piece to the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling.” And now this kind of spontaneous dance is becoming a worldwide trend, one which, natch, is making its way to Israel.
Several production companies and the City of Tel Aviv-Yafo are putting on their own spontaneous dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” scheduled for next Friday, October 30, at 12:30 in Dizengoff Square (the one with the Agam fountain at the middle).
If you want to participate, however, you gotta learn the dance, and by that I mean the dance steps to ‘Thriller,’ those danced by the moondancing maniac Michael Jackson. You have just one week:
