Jewish Dance

[EccentricM]

So I made a topic a long time ago, however it's so old it got closed off, but I thought I'd re-open it here, and see if anyone else would have anything to add.

 

 

I'll repeat the opening post here, and people are free to read through the old thread, it's not that long, only a couple posts.

So, I've wondered if anyone knew anything on this subject. You often see Jews today to many traditional dances, but I imagine these are not Biblical or historical Hebrew dances. Some rumours suggest they (the modern Jewish dances) may be old Canaanite dances, but I've not found much on it.  I mean they look rather cool (but so do many things in this system that Jehovah would not approve of).

I'm curious whether the "real" historical dance of the Hebrews can actually be traced anywhere, or whether the dance they do today "is" that dance, a modern creation, or a false religious dance which they have only done since the Jewish reform when thety took on other practices since the days of rejecting Jesus.

I have no clue.

 

Every time I listen to the old version of

The Victory Song, I can picture the

miraculously rescued people dancing

for joy and praising Jehovah out of gratitude.   Their long garments

flowing to the beat of the tambourines.

 

The spirit of the dance was more important than the shape...IMHO that is.
