About ONOT
ONOT means seasons.
“For everything there is a season…a time for building, a time for laughing, a time for loving, a time for dancing.”
Named by Nomie Bental, dance instructor from 2016-2024, in ONOT, we travel through the seasons, we grow as people and as dancers.
ONOT dance program provides structured educational and social opportunities for students to develop friendships, and have fun while exploring Jewish and Israeli culture, heritage, and traditions through Israeli Dance. ONOT invites dancers in kindergarten through 12th grade, of all ability levels, to join its program and does not require prior dance experience to participate.
Younger students dance during Religious School or Kesher hours. Older groups rehearse on Sundays after Religious School. Dancers learn harkada (recreational Israeli dances that are danced throughout the world) as well as original performance pieces (performing 4-6 times a year) that reflect the many different cultural influences in Israel.
Cost:
$25 – costume/t-shirt fee for students enrolled in the TE Religious School
$380 – Instruction, costume/t-shirt free for students not enrolled in the TE Religious School
Meet the Teacher!
Hi, I'm Rimon! I am currently a senior at Newton North High School. In college, I hope to study Aeronautical Engineering. This is my 8th year doing Israeli Dance, and my 6th year teaching it to others. I am super excited to lead Temple Emanuel's dance program this year! When I am not dancing, I love being in the outdoors! I love hiking in New Hampshire, biking along the Charles, or kayaking in it. Also, I am very involved with the Jewish community. I often lead Friday night and Saturday morning services and study Talmud at Hebrew College.
