Come Celebrate

 All things joyful have their place before God.  

Consider: Miriam grasped a tambourine and led the Israelite women in a great dance after leaving the Sea of Reeds and slavery.
Consider: David danced with abandon as he celebrated his return from war with the help of the Lord.
Consider: Each year we fete the holy Torah as we embrace it on the Festival of Simhat Torah and dance for hours in the Synagogue!
The roots of our ancient tradition all point to the idea that we are to celebrate life, rejoice for goodness, and allow our feet trace the path of dancing.  
The world is our orchestra, our bodies yearn to beat in time with that rhythm, and the Holy One, blessed Be He, smiles because His children are smiling.
