Dance Troupe From Israel Wraps Up Goodwill Tour of America (Correction)
An August 22 article, “Dance Troupe From Israel Wraps Up Goodwill Tour of America,” misidentified Toni Luck, managing director of the Spirit of David Dance Theater. Ben Ammi Ben Israel is the spiritual leader of the African Hebrew Israelite Community. The article also incorrectly reported the source of funding for the tour. The Nation of Islam did not provide funding, nor was a request submitted to the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
