Chenfeld, well-known in the
community as a dancer, teacher and writer, has been making
appearances at Wexner Heritage House for 23 years. "It is
always'a joy to dance and

Chenfeld is with the Artist-

teaches preschool children at
the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Community Center and folk dancing at B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation and the Center.
