Lords of the Dance: the Rapture of Rikud Rabbi Michael Olshin Lords of the Dance Rabbi Michael Olshin Lords of the Dance: The Rapture of Rikud Rabbi Michael Olshin Introduction I heard from the Talne Rebbe shlit”a a very witty quip from one of the simple but sharp Jews of yesteryear – On simchat Torah one of the simple members of the community was dancing with the Torah during the hakafot of Simchat Torah with tremendous enthusiasm/hitlahavut. The Misnagdische Rav said to him, Excuse me Mendel but I couldn’t help but notice how you were dancing but what right have you to dance like that, did you have any connection/shaychus to the learning of Torah this year? The chossid answered no, I did not learn any Torah but neither do I have any shaychus to accepting any So why did I say it .על שחטאנו לפניך בכפת שוחד bribes this year, yet last week on Yom Kippur I said because the Rav has a shaychus to bribes so to I dance today because the Rav has a shaychus to the study of Torah. Dance in Tanakh The most famous dance is certainly David Hamelech in front of the Aron Kodesh as described in Sefer Shmuel Bet Chapter 6. There the word that is used for dance is Rikud. But where is the first dance mentioned in the Torah? In Sefer Shmot Perek 15. Miriam leads the women in dance immediately after the splitting of the sea. They took out drums and they dance. There the term used for dance is Machol. What is the difference between machol and rikud? Compare the sources below: 1. שמות ט"ו, כ': "ותקח מרים הנביאה אחות אהרון את התף בידה ותצאן כל הנשים אחריה בתפים ובמחולות 2. שמואל ב פרק ו )יב( ויגד למלך דוד לאמר ברך יקוק את בית עבד אדם ואת כל אשר לו בעבור ארון האלהים וילך דוד ויעל את ארון האלהים מבית עבד אדם עיר דוד בשמחה : )יג( ויהי כי צעדו נשאי ארון יקוק ששה צעדים ויזבח שור ומריא : )יד( ודוד מכרכר בכל עז לפני יקוק ודוד חגור אפוד בד : )טו( ודוד וכל בית ישראל מעלים את ארון יקוק בתרועה ובקול שופר : )טז( והיה אר ון יקוק בא עיר דוד ומיכל בת שאול נשקפה בעד החלון ותרא את המלך דוד מפזז ומכרכר לפני יקוק ותבז לו בלבה: )יז( ויבאו את ארון יקוק ויצגו אתו במקומו בתוך האהל אשר נטה לו דוד ויעל דוד עלות לפני יקוק ושלמים : )יח( ויכל דוד מהעלות העולה והשלמים ויברך את העם בשם יקוק צבאות : )יט( ויחלק לכל העם לכל המון ישראל למאיש ועד אשה לאיש חלת לחם אחת ואשפר אחד ואשישה אחת וילך כל העם איש לביתו : )כ( וישב דוד לברך את ביתו ותצא מיכל בת שאול לקראת דוד ותאמר מה נכבד היום מלך ישראל אשר נגלה היום לעיני אמהות עבדיו כהגלות נגלות אחד הרקים : )כא( ויאמר דוד אל מיכל לפני יקוק אשר בחר בי מאביך ומכל ביתו לצות אתי נגיד על עם יקוק על ישראל ושחקתי לפני יקוק: )כב( ונקלתי עוד מזאת והייתי שפל בעיני ועם האמהות אשר אמרת עמם אכבדה : )כג( ולמיכל בת שאול לא היה לה ילד עד יום מותה: פ 1 Chag at Home 5781 Lords of the Dance Rabbi Michael Olshin Machol is circles, hand in hand, group, symmetry, not individualistic. Rikud is the individual dance, much more provocative, make yourself noticeable. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two different types of expressions? “Dancing of Rikud” has an inherent contradiction in it. On the one hand it is very personal and expressive of an ecstatic rapture but on the other hand it is showy and draws attention to yourself. It can be perceived and may even be an expression of gaava. A person may not be totally himself when others are looking at him. Imagine the first person to have ever danced. The closest thing that we can come to it is when there is no one else home and we let go. We rarely ever dance like that when we are in the presence of others. Questions to Ponder What was the machloket between David Hamelekh and Michal Bat Shaul? Who do you think was right? Can you bring a proof from the text? ?of the consequence of Michal being childless )מידה כנגד מידה( What is the measure for measure What do you think about the popular practice today of the friends of the bride or groom performing a choreographed dance at weddings in light of our discussion? Perhaps the Gemara on Tractate Ketubot can shed light on some of these questions: 3. תלמוד בבלי מסכת כתובות דף טז עמוד ב תנו רבנן: כיצד מרקדין לפני הכלה? בית שמאי אומרים :כלה כמות שהיא, ובית הלל אומרים: כלה נאה וחסודה. אמרו להן ב"ש לב"ה: הרי שהיתה חיגרת או סומא, אומרי' לה, כלה נאה וחסודה? והתורה אמרה: +שמות כ"ג+ מדבר שקר תרחק! אמרו להם ב"ה לב"ש: לדבריכם, מי שלקח מקח רע מן השוק, ישבחנו בעיניו או יגננו בעיניו? הוי אומר: ישבחנו בעיניו, מכאן אמרו חכמים: לעולם תהא דעתו של אדם מעורבת עם הבריות...אמרו עליו על רבי יהודה בר אילעאי, שהיה נוטל בד של הדס ומרקד לפני הכלה, ואומר: כלה נאה וחסודה. רב שמואל בר רב יצחק מרקד אתלת, א"ר זירא: קא מכסיף לן סבא! כי נח נפשיה, איפסיק עמודא דנורא בין דידיה לכולי עלמא; וגמירי, דלא אפסיק עמודא דנורא אלא אי לחד בדרא אי לתרי בדרא. א"ר זירא: אהנייה ליה שוטיתיה לסבא, ואמרי לה: שטותיה לסבא, ואמרי לה: שיטתיה לסבא. רב אחא מרכיב לה אכתפיה ומרקד, אמרי ליה רבנן: אנן מהו למיעבד הכי? אמר להו: אי דמיין עלייכו ככשורא - לחיי, ואי לא - לא. As we approach the Yom Tov of Sukkot. There is no holiday in the calendar in which dance is more prevalent. Let us now look at sources that focus on dance in the context of the Simcha of Sukkot, Simchat Beit Hoshoeiva and Simchat Torah 4. רמב "ם הלכות שופר וסוכה ולולב פרק ח הלכה יב אף על פי שכל המועדות מצוה לשמוח בהן, בחג הסוכות היתה שם במקדש שמחה יתירה שנאמר +ויקרא כ"ג+ ושמחתם לפני ה' אלהיכם שבעת ימים, וכיצד היו עושין ערב יום טוב הראשון היו מתקנין במקדש מקום לנשים מלמעלה ולאנשים מלמטה כדי שלא יתערבו אלו עם אלו, ומתחילין לשמוח ממוצאי יום טוב הראשון, וכן בכל יום ויום מימי חולו של מועד מתחילין מאחר שיקריבו תמיד של בין הערבים לשמוח שאר היום עם כל הלילה. 2 Chag at Home 5781 Lords of the Dance Rabbi Michael Olshin הלכ ה י ג והיאך היתה שמחה זו, החליל מכה ומנגני ן בכנור ובנבלים ובמצלתים וכל אחד ואחד בכל י שיר שהוא יודע לנג ן בו, ומ י שיודע בפה בפה, ורוקדי ן ומספקין ומטפחי ן ומפזזי ן ומכרכרי ן כל אחד ואחד כמו שיודע ואומרים דבר י שיר ותושבחות, ושמחה זו אינה דוחה לא את השבת ולא את יום טוב. הלכ ה י ד מצוה להרבות בשמח ה זו, ולא היו עושי ן אותה עמ י הארץ וכל מ י שירצה, אלא גדול י חכמ י ישראל וראש י הישיבות והסנהדרי ן והחסידים והזקנים ואנש י מעשה הם שהיו מרקדי ן ומספקין ומנגני ן ומשמחי ן במקדש בימי חג הסוכות, אבל כל העם האנשי ם והנשים כול ן באי ן לראות ולשמוע. הלכ ה טו השמחה שישמח אד ם בעשיית המצוה ובאהבת האל שצוה בה ן, עבודה גדולה היא, וכל המונע עצמו משמחה זו ראו י להפרע ממנו שנאמר +דברים כ "ח+ תחת אש ר לא עבדת את ה' אלהיך בשמחה ובטוב לבב, וכל המגיס דעתו וחולק כבוד לעצמו ומתכבד בעיניו במקומות אלו חוטא ושוטה, ועל זה הזהיר שלמה ואמר אל תתהדר לפנ י מלך. וכל המשפיל עצמו ומקל גופו במקומות אלו הוא הגדול המכובד העובד מאהבה, וכ ן דוד מלך ישראל אמר +שמואל ב' ו'+ ונקלות י עוד מזאת והיית י שפל בעינ י, ואין הגדולה והכבוד אלא ל שמוח לפנ י ה' שנאמר +שמואל ב' ו'+ והמלך דוד מפזז ומכרכר לפנ י ה'. בריך רחמנא דסייע ן. 5. מעשה רב סימן רלג הגאון ז"ל היה שמח מאד בחג הסוכות...והוא ז"ל היה הולך לפני הספר תורה שמח מאוד ברוב עוז וחדוה וחכמת אדם תאיר פניו בלפיד אש בוערת ומספק כף אל כף ומפזז ומכרכר בכל עוז לפני הס"ת... We have try to understand the Gaon’s dancing on Simchat Torah when you consider the fact that it is generally considered to be forbidden to dance on Shabbat and Yom Tov. As we see in the Shulchan Arukh 1. שו לחן ערוך א ורח חיים הל כות שב ת ס ימן שלט ס עיף ג )ז( אי ן מטפחין להכות כף אל כף, ולא מספקי ן להכות כף על ירך, )ח( א ולא מרקדי ן, גזירה שמא יתק ן כל י שיר. ואפ י' להכות באצבע על ה קרקע, * או על הלוח, )ט( או ב אחת כנגד אחת כדרך המשוררים, או לקשקש באגוז לתינוק, או לשחק בו בזוג כד י שישתוק, כל זה וכיוצא בו אסור, גזירה שמא יתק ן כל י שיר; * ולספק כלאחר יד, מותר. הגה: והא דמספקי ן ומרקדי ן האידנא ולא מחינ ן בהו משום >ב< דמוטב שיהיו שוגגי ן וכו'. ו י"א דבזמ ן הזה הכל שר י, דאי ן אנו בקיאי ן בעשיית כל י שיר וליכא למגזר שמא יתק ן כל י שיר > ג< דמלתא דלא שכיח הוא ואפשר שעל זה נהגו * ) י( להקל בכל )תוספות סוף פרק המביא כד י יי ן(. 2. שו " ת י חווה ד עת ח לק ב ס ימן נח )רב עובדיה יוסף ז צ"ל( וראית י להגאו ן רב י יחיאל מיכל אפשטיי ן בערוך השלח ן )/או" ח/ סימ ן שלט אות ה - ט( שהביא מה שכתב הרמ"א בשם התוספות להתיר טיפוח וריקוד בזמ ן הזה מפנ י ש אי ן אנו בקיאים לעשות כל י שיר.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation / Thesis
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation / Thesis: MAKING DANCE THAT MA TTERS: DANCER, CHOREOGRAPHE R, COMMUNITY ORGANIZER, PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL LIZ LER MAN Lisa Traiger, M.F.A., 2004 Thesis Directed By: Visiting Associate Professor Karen Bradley, Depar tment of Dance Washington, D.C. -based choreographer and dancer Liz Lerman, a MacArthur Award recipient, has been making dances of consequence for 30 years. Her choreography, her writing and her public speaking tackle “big ideas” for the dance field and society at large. Lerman articulates those ideas as questions: “Who gets to dance? Where is the dance happening? What is it about? Why does it matter?” This thesis investigates how Lerman has used her expertise as a choreographer, dancer and spokesperson to propel herself and her ideas beyond the tightly knit field into the larger community as a public intellectual. A brief history and overview defines public intellectual, followed by an examination of Lerman’s early life and influences. Finally, three them atic areas in Lerman’s work – personal narrative, Jewish content and community -based art – are explored through the lens of three choreographic works: “New York City Winter” (1974), “The Good Jew?” (1991) and “Still Crossing” (1986). MAKING DANCE THAT MATTERS: DANCER, CHOREOGRAPHE R, COMMUNITY ORGANIZ ER, PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL LIZ LERMAN By Lisa Traiger Thesis or Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts 2004 Advisory Committee: Visiting Associate Professor Karen Bradley, Chair Professor Meriam Rosen Professor Suzanne Carbonneau © Copyright by Lisa Traiger 2004 Preface The first time I experienced Liz Lerman’s choreography, I danced it.

  • How to Be the Worst Line Dance Band Ever to Appear at Wittingdon Church Hall
    HOW TO BE THE WORST LINE DANCE BAND EVER TO APPEAR AT WITTINGDON CHURCH HALL Loosely based on a true story All the names have been changed to protect the innocent! by Vivienne Scott “I won’t be long John, just popping down to the shop to get some milk”, I called out. “Not that he can hear me”, I mumbled to myself. In fact, I could hardly hear myself!! “Good job our neighbours are in on this too”. I smiled as I pictured Ralph and Bob lugging their electric guitars into our garage thirty minutes before. This all started a few months ago when we invited our neighbours over for a barbecue. The men started reminiscing about the fact that they had all dreamt of being rock stars when they were young and not the 50 years olds they currently were! Bob had actually had some experience playing guitar in a high school band and his brother Nigel, the accountant, had gone so far as to play drums for a big band when he was in college. John, my husband, had always fancied himself as a keyboard player but although he had a good ear for a tune he had never played the piano. Paul, the local electrician, who had dropped by to fix our kitchen light socket, enthusiastically joined in the discussion informing everyone that he used to play the drums and he was great at karaoke as well Before any of the wives had a chance to raise objections, a band was borne and John had invited them all to practice in our garage.

  • Dance, Our Dearest Diversion
    Dance, Our Dearest Diversion Introduction “Virginians are of genuine blood—they will dance or die.” This quotation from Philip Vickers Fithian’s journal in August 1774 explains just how important dancing was to the eighteenth- century Virginian. It was an integral and essential part of the social life of the time. Burgesses, tradesmen, farmers, and slaves all partook of this diversion. The gentry had more leisure time to take dance lessons and had opportunities to attend elegant balls at the Governor’s Palace, the Capitol, and each other’s homes. Dance was an important part of a young gentleman or lady’s education. Those of the middling and lesser sort had less time and money to devote to lessons or formal gatherings, but nonetheless enjoyed stepping what dances they knew or learning new ones they had seen. Slaves got together for “gatherings” where they shared conversation, made music with what instruments they had available or could make, and danced in a style brought from Africa. People often learned to dance by imitating what they saw others do. Parents taught their children, and those who could afford the expense could hire a tutor to teach them the latest dances. Dancing manuals were also available for purchase. An aspiring tradesman or up-and-coming farmer might invest in dance instruction for himself and his family in hopes of obtaining a necessary sign of social grace. Dance was considered an important part of a gentry child’s education, and children were placed under the instruction of a master, either male or female, during the pre-teen years.
