Matti Goldschmidt, an expert on folk dancing 
history, has chosen Israeli folk dances whose lyrics can be traced back to the Bible. 

He has researched the development of the dances and describes their origins. 

Wherever possible, Matti Goldschmidt has included detailed descriptions of the dances and pictures for illustration.
