SubscribeIsraeli ice dancers, take two (and a half)
Our friend Jonathan Mayo devoted his recent column at the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle to the ice dancing routine by the brother-sister duo of Zaretsky and Zaretsky which is much more eloquent than my version.
A sample:
What a great opportunity, I thought, for this pair to represent the Jewish state and show the progress it has made in the world of winter sports. I was anticipated being able to write a glowing column about Zionism, ice and pride.
I was wrong…. They looked, I’m sad to say, like they were from a community theater performance of “Fiddler on the Roof.”
(That’s what it was, I knew it looked familiar.)
The most recent podcast of Slate’s “Hang Up and Listen” also touched on it briefly in their usual pithy manner.
