Israeli Folk Dance |
|
The Machol Dancers resumed their Israeli Folk Dance classes in
February 2012 after a two month break during November and
December of 2011. The first class was small as we started
making plans for three performance pieces for 2012 and worked on
some dances we've not practiced in a while. |

Home-Group Meeting |
|
During 2012 Beit Yeshua continued it's Erev Shabbat Home-Group
meetings in Lincolnton, NC - rotating between Doug & Lynda's
home and Chuck & Janice's home. |
|
Chuck & Janice moved
into their new home in February 2012 |
 |
|
Toward the end of 2011 the decision was made to incorporate a
conversational Hebrew class at the beginning of the home-group
meeting. To accomplish this we decided to push back the start of
the meeting to 7:30 pm in order to add the 30-minute Hebrew
class at the beginning of the evening. Those with an
interest in learning more of the language arrived prior to 7:00
pm and the rest of the group arriving prior to 7:30. We
started off with about 20 in the class with Carolyn serving as
facilitator and instructor. |

PURIM |
|
Beit Yeshua gathered on Friday March 9, 2012, to celebrate their
11th annual Purim Celebration.
The story of Purim is told in the book of Esther and
recalls how Adonai miraculously protected and delivered the
Jewish people from the hand of the evil Haman. The 2012
Shpiel (play) is called "Shushan Island" and is a Gilligan's
Island parody of the Purim story. With 70+ in attendance,
it was a fun evening for all. |
