A
popular Jewish folk dance is the Mitzvah Tantz.
A
chair was brought to the center of the patio, and Aaron was
seated on it. The guests danced
around a seated Aaron. Then, four of the brawniest men,
which included brother Alex, hoisted the chair skyward,
held Aaron aloft, and then whirled him about.
(The biggest, tallest, strongest person
-- that would be Alex-- was best positioned at the front of the
chair to keep it tipped back, so the sittee -- that would be
Aaron -- didn't fall off)
Mom, this is
great fun!
Celia: "Son, marry a nice Jewish girl one day and
you'll get to do this again!"
Aaron's
thought: "I feel like the king of the world! A guy could get used to
this flying throne."
Thoughts of guys lifting the chair: "Thank goodness,
Aaron's slim and trim these days."
Eddie: "Son,
marry a nice Jewish girl (or one that will convert like your
Mom) and you'll get to do it all over again. You'll dance The
Hora again and smash a perfectly good glass to smithereens!"
