Aaron's Chair Dance

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!"
