Most of us have a longing to feel at home, to come back to a place of connection and peace. The Dances of Universal Peace provide a vehicle for coming together in celebration of the sacred. The Jewish tradition, known for its inspiring music and dance, has also been a path to the remembrance of life as holy. The observance of Shabbat and the joy and depth of circle dance have combined forces in this inspired offering.
