It draws from many cultures and expresses itself in dances that range in complexity and speed. See this article for more information. \nJoin hosts Adele\, Lani and Mitch and a friendly friendly group of people that gathers periodically on Zoom or in person to enjoy the folkdances of Israel! \nWe mostly dance around a circle so no partner is required. We have a large repertoire of beginner-friendly dances. New dancers are encouraged to come at the beginning of the session to benefit from instruction. Please wear shoes with clean soles. \nThis program is free with an optional donation. \nRegister Here \nBecause of ongoing concerns about covid and other circulating viruses\, the group would greatly appreciate attendees wearing a high quality mask such as N95 or KN95. \n  URL:https://ohavizedek.org/event/israeli-dancing-drop-in-20/2026-04-26/ LOCATION:Ohavi Zedek Synagogue\, 188 North Prospect Street\, Burlington\, VT\, 05401\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Learning,Community Events,Israeli Dance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ohavizedek.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/dancing.png GEO:44.486379;-73.201175 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ohavi Zedek Synagogue 188 North Prospect Street Burlington VT 05401 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=188 North Prospect Street:geo:-73.201175,44.486379 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260429T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260429T123000 DTSTAMP:20260421T163658 CREATED:20241219T175538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260311T174422Z UID:10031919-1777458600-1777465800@ohavizedek.org SUMMARY:Midweek Mah Jongg DESCRIPTION:Stop by every Wednesday from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM for Mah Jongg \nAdditionally\, fill out this interest form to be notified for upcoming classes URL:https://ohavizedek.org/event/midweek-mah-jongg-22/2026-04-29/ LOCATION:Ohavi Zedek Social Hall\, 188 N.

Every year walkers of all ages from businesses\, schools\, religious organizations\, and neighborhoods come together from all over the region to participate. The Walk begins and ends in Battery Park with music from Jenni & the Jazz Junketeers\, as well as Ben & Jerry’s ice cream\, and fun activities. \nThis family-friendly event guides Walkers along a 3.6-mile route through downtown Burlington visiting some of the shelters and facilities that COTS operates. At this event\, COTS seeks to illustrate the path a person experiencing homelessness might take when utilizing COTS services to educate our community about homelessness in our region. Bring your friends\, family\, coworkers\, dogs\, and strollers…All are welcome! \n \nThis year the COTS Walk theme is Every Story Deserves a Home. Every person who walks through the doors of COTS’s shelters\, housing\, and service locations has a unique life story. At COTS\, we believe that every story matters\, and every person has the power to change the ending. At this year’s COTS Walk\, we hope you will join us in honoring every story and recognizing that homelessness is a chapter in too many stories in our community. \nWhen: First Sunday in May; Sunday May 3rd\, 2026.\nWhere: Battery Park\nRegistration: begins at 1pm (meet at 1:30pm on the south side of the battery pavillion)\nWalk time: begins at 2pm \nDonate or Join the OZ Team here \nWho Walks?\nWalkers of all ages\, from businesses\, schools\, social and religious organizations\, and neighborhoods come together from all over the region to participate in the annual COTS Walk. \nWhy Walk?\nTo raise public awareness about homelessness in our community and to raise money. To support COTS shelters and services for Vermonters who are homeless or are at risk of losing their homes.
