SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Mindy Seta, you just saw a part of that special DVD, you are going to see a little bit more, Mindy, why should people want to dance Jewish dances?
MINDY: Well one of the commandments is that we should worship the Lord with our hearts, soul and strength. In Deuteronomy 6:4 through 9 it talks about this, and this is the only way that I know of just encompassing your whole being unto him.
SID: You know the other thing is that God is knitting Jews and Christians together and I can’t think of a better way of knitting Jews and Christians together where your spirit, soul and body, every fiber of your being is worshipping God, picture a Jewish person and a non-Jewish, oh that
reminds me, you had a second blessing on Rosh Hashanah.
MINDY: Yes, the Lord brought me the most wonderful husband Ralph, and it was a very difficult time for all those years before, my husband left, my first husband left me and the Lord brought Ralph, and Ralph, you know that was what we were married, we were married with Yeshua as our center, the scripture from Ephesians that we would be One New Man together in him, what was our marriage.
SID: Ralph is a dancer also.
MINDY: Yes.
SID: And a lot of people think in terms of female dancers, but you know one of the things about Jewish dance, it breaks down, there is no Jew, there’s no Gentile, there is no male, there is no female, yes in the natural there is, but in the Spirit we are, as Mindy said, one new humanity. One New Man. Now what supernatural thing happened that you knew you were to marry Ralph?
MINDY: Well we went out for coffee when it was okay to do that, we went out for coffee the very first time and we were driving in the car to go have a cup of coffee and Ralph was speaking with me, and the Ruach, the Holy Spirit, this wind was rushing as he spoke, it was tremendous, and he was speaking words but I heard the rushing, the rushing of God’s Spirit coming forth, and as he was talking I knew that we were going to get married. And then we had dinner and we were going to get married. Right away almost.
SID: Mindy, I want them to see something from your DVD in which you teach anyone, you know people by themselves can do this because you need healing too, you need worship too, dancing these Jewish dances and we are going to have a song called “Morning.” What is this about?
MINDY: This is about waking up and coming close to the Lord, through his word, tasting the word, experiencing him, offering ourselves to him for the day that he could do with us as he would like.
SID: Okay the first excerpt is going to be how to do it, the next excerpt that you are going to see, you will see people actually worshipping God in the dance. Let’s go to the “Morning.”
MINDY: So we are going to start off holding hands and we will go counter clockwise. Our first step we are going to start off with walks, we are going to walk right, left, right together, right. And then we are going to continue along the line of the dance with a left, right, left together, left. Very easy, let’s do that again. Walk, walk, right, left, right, and left, right, left together left.
SID: Okay I hope you don’t have two left feet or two right – can anyone do this Mindy?
MINDY: Anyone can do this; if you have a heart to worship the Lord then you can dance.
And we encourage people who have never danced to dance, to try it, and just to enter in.
SID: Is it simple enough for people like me?
MINDY: Yes it is.
SID: That have two left feet?
MINDY: Yes and because you are a man Sid, it is even better, sweeter, it’s wonderful.
SID : Okay, now let’s see what this looks like when you are not just being taught but actually a demonstration of the dance; let’s go to Morning again.

SID: I’ll tell you Mindy, you look like you are having fun at dancing.
MINDY: Yeah, it is the best. It is the best to rejoice before the Lord and praise him.
SID: But you know what is even more amazing to me is that scripture that were talking about before we just went on the air of Zephaniah 3:17.
MINDY: Yes, he will rejoice over you with gladness. But what struck me that was so wonderful is the Hebrew root for rejoice, means to whirl around, and so I always dance as though he is dancing with me, he is rejoicing over me as well.
SID: So as you are dancing in the circle he is dancing around you whirling around you, but guess what, there is another part to that verse in Zephaniah 3:17. It says:
And one translation I read said “He will smother you with his kisses.” Can you picture that? Can you picture being lonely when God the Creator of the universe is whirling around you and smothering you with his love? You know Mindy said Isaiah 53 was so important. You know that was written 800 years before Jesus came to earth? I read that to my Orthodox Jewish father, he said “Stop, you are reading about Jesus.” I said, “Dad, stop, this is from the Jewish Tanakh, the Jewish prophet Isaiah.” It sounds exactly like Jesus. If it sounds exactly like Jesus, guess what? It is Jesus. Jesus is the King of the Jews. And he wants you to worship him in the dance, he wants you to worship him in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, it is not just on Saturday, not just on Friday night, not just on Sunday, no, no, no. It is 24/7, it is the whole purpose of life, it is the whole purpose of your being, what are you waiting for? The water is so cool and gentle. Jump in, say “Jesus I make you my Lord and Savior.”
