And What Interests the ResidentsSomething other than a movie for a Sunday afternoonWatching a live demonstration of dancingInteraction with the outside world

The Introductions

• First, Mike gives an introduction• Next Naomi introduces the group• Before each dance, Naomi gives a short synopsis of the lyrics• In fact, before doing S’ana (capital of Yemen) she includes the

audience in the dance by instructing them on arm movements

And The Dancing Begins

The Cherry Hill group circles and circles, goes inside and out, dances

into the circle and dances outside to the

audience

For the residents, It is a sea of Black and Blue

The dancing ends with a round of

applauseAnd a word of thanks

And the residents are on their way

A different Sunday afternoon at Brith Sholom House. A live demonstration as opposed to a

movie.
