A Sublime ReadBy George RussellI thought this book would be interesting; but I didnt expect it to be jam-packed with surprises and page-turningly well written and timely. This book is sublime. If you know anything about modern dance; youll appreciate knowing the whos who of Jewish modernism and youll get a lot of new information (and clips of dance) that will fill it in for you. If youre Jewish; or; like me; a Jew wannabe; youll love the many ways; from the folkloric to the philosophical; that Rebecca Rossen connects Judaism to dance and dance to jews. Every page has a sentence I want to sew into a sampler. A really juicy and full read.
