I felt uplifted and joyous after viewing this video. After the Holocaust , we must have poetry, dance and music, or else evil wins. This video is a Jewish triumph, showing by example, that humanity in its very best forms can survive the unspeakable. Thank you, beloved musicians and dancers. Robbie
Steven this is beautiful!! I cant wait for YSW 14 !! I admire all your work , the dancers and musicians. You give me so much positive energy, thank you
it's a dance we invented that summer in Weimar based on German Wikler and Scandinavian Slangspolslka. We called it Tsepl Tants (Braid - like a hair braid- Dance ) The main rule is that the lead always keep the follow moving in a forward (towards their nose) direction. Stepping is to the music, ad lib. Many kinds of hand braiding can be utilized.
and pls dont be afraid of my pfp. M no antisemit person at all. Its just cultural and philosophical i am just but one of the humble but also very weird beings of the world that poeple hope to forget the next way. Disconformity should be no reason for discomfortability
I have very mixed feelings about this video. On one hand performing Yiddish music and dance in Weimar turns my stomach - performing for our murderers. If they'd had their way, no Jew would be alive today. On the other hand . . . a little music and a little dancing, what could hurt?!
Do the math. The war ended 70 years ago. To have been old enough to be a consenting-adult Nazi, one would now have to be 85 or so. We don't believe in "racial" guilt. Let's not slide down to the Nazi level.
A program like Yiddish Summer Weimar is way to in some way repair the damage and revive the lost culture. The other alternative is to do nothing, and no longer have a Jewish presence. It should be noted that almost all of the participants, musicians and dancers, are non-Jewish and mostly German.

Emptiness. ‘Arian’ citizens dancing 💃 enthusiastically the music and culture of a people once there abundantly yet slaughtered by their grand parents generation. It’s like celebrating the result of the final solution. Some write here that it’s a triumph of jewish culture. What ? Without jews ? Prague has jewish monuments. Safed by the German nazi gov. of Czechia, Heydrich who wanted to keep them as a memory of what once was. Now nicely cleared. That’s what this makes me think of. That is the emptiness. Even when these people themselves are innocent. It’s too ironic.
i'm a firm believer that music brings people together. We need more of that.

@@dancinstevechicago I love the liberal movements in such a harmonical manner. It really is a artform, where everyone is able to add to

Old sins cast long shadows.
Very poetic. And now the question is: what specific old sins can be seen in this particular video?

Point taken. However, as I said, I have mixed feelings.
