     Dat blijkt op de avonden, als zij de nieuwe volksdansen uitvoeren: snelle, dynamische dansen, in het land ontstaan, die uiting geven aan de levensvreugd van de „sabra's”, zoals de in Israël geboren pionierskinderen met de naam van de stekelige vrucht van een inheemse cactusplant worden genoemd.
