Notes
Tzadik Katimar
ìthe righteous man shall flourish;
he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon
( or : like a palm tree in the desert )î
choreographed originally by Yonatan Gabai
The Findhorn folk say that the first part of the dance is the wise one ... he knows just where he is going ... and the second part of the dance is the fool ... he is lost, but somehow still makes it. I like to say the first part of the dance is the fool ... the fool always thinks he knows where he is going. The wise one absolutely knows that he has no clue.
See the simplified version of this dance for a childrenís circle.
