Subject: Update for Turkish dinner

Dear Erhan,

Just a little update concerning our Turkish dinner next Friday.

The big work will be Friday : we will need at least 4 or 5 volunteers to help in the kitchen, in addition to Sengul, Emre, Hilda and myself, as we will have only 3 hours and a half to cook the soup, the main dish and the bulgur pilaf. The kitchen will be available at 2 pm, right after the Friday Cafe, and the dinner is at 5:30 pm.

If I could know by Wednesday how many Turkish ladies (or gentlemen...) would be willing to help in the kitchen on Friday, that would be great !

Thanks to all of you for being so involved in this event, and so helpful.  I really appreciate.
Have a great week-end.
Marie

ECSTASY OF THE WHIRLING DERVISHES (Turkey)

Rumi, the thirteenth-century Sufi mystic, ended one of his fervent poems with a prophetic line: “Dazed by the marvels of love, our whirling endures.” The Mevlevi Order, founded in his name, has kept the tradition of whirling alive for 800 years. The rituals of Rumi’s followers (known to the Western world as ‘the Whirling Dervishes’) are among the most enduring and exquisite ceremonies of spirituality. The whirling of the dervishes is an act of love and adramatization of faith that possesses a highly structured form in which gentle turns become increasingly dynamic. Chanting of poetry, rhythmic rotation, and music create a synaesthesia that induces in many a feeling of soaring, ecstatic, mystical flight. In 2007, the world will celebrate the 800th Anniversary of Sema culture.
