Program Description: Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention

Originating as a martial art in ancient China, Tai Chi is one of the most effective exercises for health of mind and body.  Although an art with great depth of knowledge and skill, it can be easy to learn, and participants will soon notice its health benefits. For many, it continues as a lifetime journey.

Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention is based on the Sun style of Tai Chi. This is the newest of the tai chi styles.  The beginning form that will be taught has 21 movements.

In the continuing class, we will refine the beginner form and add on as we learn Part 2 of the beginner form, bringing the movements to 41. We will also be learning the traditional Sun style form of 73 movements. Depending on class interest, we may explore the Yang style 24 movement form.

Program Description: Please join us as we welcome the Tzofim Friendship Caravan! They are celebrating 50 years of bringing excitement, energy and friendship to North America through friendship and performance! The first Caravan came to the United States in 1973 to bring a message of hope and peace for Israel.

Each Caravan is made up of a group of five girls and five boys and their two leaders. They are chosen to be members of the Caravan based on their maturity, fluency in English, and of course, their talent in the performing arts. After several rounds of competitive auditions and interviews, the scouts spend a year training and rehearsing for their exciting summer in North America. What a beautiful way to celebrate Israel!
