what’s the difference between carnival in Las Palmas and Tel Aviv?  In Tel Aviv we say we will dance despite the terrible challenges we are facing.  We’re very conscious of the need to celebrate despite the dangers.  In Las Palmas it’s more Cuban but there’s a lot of simple fun.  

Funny, I think it’s the Baal Shem Tov who said that joy can nurture belief in the Divine.

i think joy is wonderful wherever it come from – but it must be wonderful just to dance.
