Matti Goldschmidt

Bible in Israeli FolkDances BACKGROUND

Gary Fox created these listings in 1981.
Then, Ruth Browns Gundelfinger created a similar list.
Then, Matti Goldschmidt (see photo above) wrote a book about it titled "The Bible In Israeli Folk Dances: Tanakh be-riḳude ha-ʻam ha-Yiśreʼeliyim."
First, a list by dance title, then a list by lyric.
