We asked Avi Zimerman whether Batsheva Dance Company ever boycotted Ariel. This was his response: 

Avi Zimerman From American Friends of Ariel wrote:

IMPORTANT: I just got off the phone with Ariel Turgeman, the Director of the Ariel Regional Center for the Performing Arts. He said that the Batsheva Dance Company NEVER boycotted Ariel. True, they haven't appeared here, but that's due to the exorbitant cost of their performances - not based on anti-Judea/Samaria policy.  Then he adds:

By the way, here's something fun if you're interested.

We decided to take the lead and jump into the increasingly popular Giving Tuesday project. Here's how we plan to handle it: https://www.friendsofariel.org/2014/11/giving-tuesday-ariel/
