CD Reviews

Fun and singable - greats for kids!

Eva Rothman | Upton, NY United States | 12/13/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Really REALLY enjoyed this CD! Nice mix of English, Yiddish, Ladino, Hebrew - all with transliterations as well as verses in English. Melodies are fun and singable, all very different and nicely put together so you get a nice "flow" as you listen to the whole thing. Buchman's instrumentation is simple, mostly nylon-strung guitar and some violin and accordion and bells, but have an intimate cozy feel to them. Use of children's voices is just right. Dreydl songs, latke songs, party songs, and the story of Chanukah all rolled into one CD. Bonus: you can sing along with the candle blessings on track 4 if you don't know them well yourself. If you only get one Chanukah CD for your kids (or you), this should be it!"

Chanukah for kindergarten kids

Brigitte Bruehl | Bielefeld | 12/02/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this CD to be able to "teach" my daughter the blessings and the classic songs "Maoz Tsur" and "Hanerot Halaluh". I got a lot more than I had bargained for. We thoroughly enjoy hearing the story of Chanukah told by delightful characters such as the "candle" and the "gelt". And we have the added bonus of learning a little Yiddish and Ladino, too.

If I see something similar for Passover or the high holidays, I will buy it immediately. Lots of fun and the perfect way to teach Kindergarten kids."
