1385.0. "OLympic ice dancers from Germany, 2/21 program" by RDVAX::HABER (supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) Tue Feb 22 1994 18:34

    Did anyone notice the german ice dancers in last night's olympics?  we
    missed the beginning of their program, so didn't get an explanation as
    to why the young man had a tallis and what looked like tefillin on.
    
    thanks.

    I saw the dancing and there was one couple who did their interpretation
    of a Jewish folk dance.  I'm not sure if it was the German couple
    though.

Yes, it was a German team.  He's a native born German.  She was born in the
US and is a naturalized citizen.  Their performance was indeed an interpretation
of a Jewish folk dance.  I don't know if there was any significance (other than
liking the theme).
