Meet Leng Tan, East Midwood Jewish Center’s Israeli dance teacher
Mazel tov, Leng Tan.
The shayna maidel (which loosely translated means “lovely lady”) who teaches Israeli dance at a Conservative Jewish synagogue in Midwood is the daughter of immigrants from Hainan Island, China.
It’s just one of those things, a fundamental fact of Tan’s life: She loves Israeli folk music.
