Forty students from the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance took a slightly different approach to flashmobs, in their spontaneous “flashwaltz” performance at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
While flashmobs usually consist of spontaneous pre-choreographed dance performances, this mob had a slightly more classical approach to a quite contemporary movement. The student musicians performed Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers in the lobby of the new Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower.
As more and more student musicians join the musical extravanganza, doctors, patients and passers-by are also invited to contribute to the performance by waltzing to the music. By the end of the video, the Hadassah Hospital lobby is filled with dozens of wood and brass instruments, and dancing hospital patrons.
The ‘mob’ was organized in honor of Good Deeds Day, an annual event that now takes place in over 50 countries worldwide, but originated in Israel. The event is dedicated to reaching out to “those less fortunate and the vulnerable,” said the description on the YouTube video posted by the Hadassah Hospital.
In light of their success, the students have decided to schedule regular concerts at the hospital.

District Attorney Kathleen Rice is bringing the message about driving safety to Nassau County’s High Schools. The Choices and Consequences program is an interactive high school presentation designed to combat drunk, drugged and reckless driving. The District Attorney’s goal is to reduce injuries and deaths in this most vulnerable age group. Traffic crashes are the number one cause of death for young people between the ages of 15 and 24.
The 90 minute program is based on a “reality TV” model that relies on real cases, real evidence and real people from cases to break through natural teenage invincibility to teach life-saving lessons. The program is divided into 3 segments: information, a skit and climaxing with defendant and/or victim speakers.
Participants: 16 & up. All parents are welcome
Day: Thursday February 28th Time: 8:30 p.m – 9:00 p.m
Anyone who made a kavod at the recent Tuscon show and has not yet paid, please contact Johnny Kordvani (516 446 0785) to arrange for payment.

Dear Community Members,
The Central Board has reached a consensus to reach out to individuals, in particular those with a loan or a mortgage, and companies hiring traveling sales people to consider purchasing Term Life Insurance. We are aware that a lot of us may already have life insurance coverage. Our request applies to individuals and specifically to corporations with traveling sales people lacking such coverage for their employees.
It is possible to purchase term policies at very affordable rates which can be locked for an extended period of time. As an example, a One Million dollar policy for an individual 30 to 40 years old, non-smoker, costs approximately $500-700 annually. This rate can be locked for 20 years with no increase. Acquiring such policies can be a family life saver in emergencies.
Sincerely,
UMJCA
