“It was said of Rabbi Akiva that when he prayed by himself he would start in one corner and end up in another, because of all his kneeling and bowing.” Today’s practice contributed by Roey Kruvi plays on the prayer concept of “shuckling” and goes full dance dance revolution to celebrate harmony within compassion — Tiferet within Tiferet. Crank up your favorite banger, go deep, and enjoy the cathartic release of a good dance sesh.
