The Machol Merkaz 2024 T-shirt shops are open! Machol Merkaz Celebrates 50 Years of Chicago Israeli Dancing When you purchase a Machol Merkaz t-shirt, you support scholarships for Machol Merkaz! Inspiration and Elements:

The 50th Anniversary of Chicago Israeli Dancing is commemorated through our special t-shirt design. This design blends several key themes:

Colorful Circular Rings: These rings draw colors from the Machol Merkaz logo and abstractly represent a vinyl record, paying homage to the origins of Israeli dance music in the 1970s. Meaning of Machol Merkaz: "We dance in the center" – the circular theme captures this essence perfectly.

Message of Resilience: "We won’t stop dancing" is proudly displayed on the back in both English and Hebrew, symbolizing our unwavering spirit and passion for dance. This serves as a tribute to survivors, honors those who did not survive the events of October 7, and conveys a message of hope for the safe return of the hostages.

There are two shops and they both support Machol Merkaz Scholarships.
