The summer has started and school is over. We had an amazing end-of-the-year concert, with performances so inspiring that they brought tears to my eyes. After the concert many of us headed straight to Ben Yehuda St., the pedestrian mall in the center of Jerusalem. We set ourselves up smack in the middle of the street and the party began! Imagine a bunch of percussionists (on darbukas, djembes, def and riqq), and a bunch of people on melodic instruments boisterously playing their hearts out with the rest of the students dancing wildly in front of them! Pretty quick we had a huge crowd surrounding us, some people joined the dancers, some were “helping out” the musicians. I played sagat and danced and being in the midst of this crazy wild-spirited circus was one of the most liberating experiences I’ve ever had. I felt so lucky being surrounded by so many talented and giving people. Can’t wait to see what next semester brings!
