The Shalom Israeli
Folkdancers
Join us in the PAC on Sunday, August 16
at 1:3o pm for The Shalom Israeli Folk-
dancers. This Group was started about
15 years ago by a group of five dedicated
Israeli Folkdancers including one of
Kirby Pines newest residents, Jody Sosh.
The original 5 members started dancing
once a week at Beth Sholom Synagogue.
As the numbers grew the group moved
to the Jewish Community Center where
they still dance every Monday from m7
to 9. The group is a mix of many reli-
gions and races but all share one thing
in common-their love of Israel, the Is-
raeli culture and especially Israeli folk-
dance.
