All the Ballroom dancer in Pittsburg, Pa area
Mark your calendars with a big, fat marker!
Every Friday night - the Integral Ballroom Studio - located outside of Pittsburgh in Murrysville - a nice East suburb - offers an evening of dancing Ballroom - their address - 3731 William Penn Hwy - Murrysville, Pa 15668.
The fun dancing night begins at 7:30 pm with a lesson taught by the studio owner/main instructor - a dark hair, medium framed, energetic Luanne O'Brien who trained with the top New York City Ballroom studios - before she and her husband (also a Ballroom dancing instructor) opened their own Ballroom dancing venue in Pittsburgh area.
If you want more info you can click on the studio's website www.integralballroom.com
or you can "shoot" Luanne - an E-mail
luanneobrien@integralballroom.com
Last night - Fri - Apr. 24 - 15 went very well. Everybody had a lot of fun with some new, not complicated line dances which the studio owners demonstrated. I danced a well led American Tango with Luanne's husband while their excellent music system gave a good sound to a new arangement of a beautiful, not too frequently performed Tango.
Most studios constantly play "La Cumparsita" and "El Choclo" - which are classics - outstanding Tangos - but how much of the same thing can a dancer - take.
At any rate - have a great week everybody and we will see you Friday evening at the
Integral Ballroom studio!

A Reformed Temple - Rodef Shalom in Oakland - the academic area of Pittsburgh, Pa - offers interesting activities for the community.
Copyright@L.Hadley 2023
The stunningly designed reformed temple Rodef Shalom located right next to a prestigious Carnegie Mellon University which proximity to University of Pittsburgh - makes the whole area - full of rhythmically changing - liberals, reformers and other modern thinkers - notwithstanding tons of expensive mansions - adorning that part of Oakland. We don't want to be mentioning the other area of Oakland closer to University of Pittsburgh which has its share of dumpy housing where the small and medium size hoodlums are strongly attracted to the big university campus atmosphere.
I clicked on www.rodefshalom.org website to find a creative weekly activity for mature ladies who want to get out of the house in order to socialize with other people. Before you join the group you need to speak to the leader of that gathering - to see if you fit in with the rest - while at the same time you will get an idea whether that group will interest you.
Have a great, new week - everybody! We shall meet here a week from today!

Every First Monday of the Month - noon till 1:30 pm - Lunch and Learn sessions at Pitt - Hillel in Oakland are Dynamite Fun.
Copyright@L.Hadley 2025
Squirrel Hill - Pittsburgh, Pa. 15217 - Congregation Beth Shalom organizes first Mondays of the Month - sessions - in which the participants exchange the ideas on "provocative" topics.
The advanced registration is required and the small fee for lunch needs to be paid - both are well worth the effort and the money. During the Mon. March 2 - 2015 - "lunch and learn" a small group of people of various ages and backgrounds - discussed the implications of "always telling the truth" - which can be risky.
Rabbi Amy Levin - led the session - and provided the examples from Torah where "telling the truth" was stretched and distorted - in various ways by many famous entities - including God - for good and powerful causes - of course. The thought-provoking discussions of this nature have been going on for a long time - however - after listening to various views on the different variations of "stretching" the facts for many lofty reasons - I came to the conclusion that expressing more honest and truthful views while communicating with other people is - definitely - worth the risk of - possible various and unpredictable - consequences.
Send us an E-mail with your opinion and we will publish the results - next week.
Have a great first week of - almost spring - everybody!

The main challenge to this glamorous post would take a form of a General Inspection report generated regularly - which can harshly evaluate the ambassadors - depending on the political motive of the "evaluators." Some ambassadors - quickly resign their posts - upon receiving a poor report - deserved or not.
The audience at Pittsburgh's - Squirrel Hill - Beth Shalom temple - asked a lot of interesting questions - skillfully handled by Mr. Jett.
