[Squaredancing] Christmas In July and the Jewish Faith?

[Cynde Sadler]

After talking it over with the Rabbi...
Why not make it a Christmas/Chanukkah dance in July? There are plenty of Jewish contradancers who may (or may not!!) enjoy this sort of thing. If not then turn it into a 'Winterwonderland-in-July' dance, with snow flakes/men and fir trees. Everyone will have to wear a scarf...use your imagination. I'm sure Up on a House Top wouldn't bother too much, certainly not Jingle Bells, Over  the River or Winter Wonderland. A lot of 'Christmas' songs don't really mention Christmas, just the season to be jolly..Ask the Rabbi.He'll probably think it's great.

  Mike,  Don't bite the hand that feeds you.  A decidedly Christian theme in a Jewish Synagogue could loose you your dance space.

    You might want to ask the rabbi if he or she is comfortable with it, but I certainly would not foresee any problem.
