... that a Jewish girl from Jerusalem(depicted) became an acclaimed performer of Indian, Javanese, Balinese, and other ethnic dance forms in the United States? Source: "Hadassah was recognized as a major dance artist of the twentieth century, a performer of Jewish, Hindu and other ethnic dance forms, and a leading force in presenting the dance of other cultures to the American public. ... Born in Jerusalem on December 30, 1909, Hadassah was descended from a long line of rabbis ... Hadassah also choreographed and performed other traditional dance forms, including those of Indonesia, Bali and Korea." (Jewish Women's Archive); "Her New York debut as a solo artist was a recital in 1945, in which she performed Golek, described as a "ceremonial court dance of Java". (SPAFA Journal)

Hook is good.. Article is new enough, long enough, well written, and makes appropriate use of citations. Earwig not currently functioning correctly but spot checks don't reveal problems with copyvio or plagiarism. The hook is short enough, quite hooky, and supported by in-line citation. QPQ is satisfied.
Image not approved: The image is quite striking, but is unfortunately problematic. The PD release is by the photographer, not the artist of the work depicted. The artist is Solomon Souza, and the work would be subject to copyright protection in the United States. I am admittedly unfamiliar with Israeli copyright law, and if there is an exception there for street art, it is possible that it might be public domain. Absent such a showing, I'm afraid we cannot feature the image on the Main Page. Also, and at a minimum, the image size should be reduced in size, and the license should be modified to "fair use" (assuming Israel recognizes the "fair use" doctrine). Of course, if someone more expert in Israeli copyright law opines that this is truly PD, my reservation should be overridden. Cbl62 (talk) 22:59, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
