How do you handle being in an Ashkenazi or Mizrahi synagogue on Simhath Torah? Past years have gone very badly for me with incidents of being pulled into a dance circle by the rebbetzin and given side eye by the synagogue president on the (I think) premise that we fancy ourselves better than them for our gravidade and their lack thereof.EDIT: If I didn't write it, it's not part of this post. There is no extra implied meaning here. The simple meaning of what I wrote is precisely and only what I meant. This question is about people making assumptions about why someone may not want to dance or having people physically force you to dance and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. How would you handle that?
