MASORTI AGITPROP! — If you've been in Israel recently, you've probably seen this poster (in Hebrew) on buses, bus shelters, and walls. Kinda hits you over the head: scholars of Jewish law should be connected with the real world.

The Masorti Movement has now made it available in English. It's a great conversation-starter in a classroom, in a sukkah, or anywhere else. 50% of profits will go to support the Masorti Movement in Israel.

SEasoned With Song

Seasoned With Song

original songs written and performed by Julie Auerbach

$14.95   Buy button 

 
For preschoolers.

When my daughter Ruth was about 3 or 4, there was no greater celebrity in her life than Julie Auerbach, who wrote and sang these Jewish songs in concerts, schools, and parties. What a thrill to see the great diva in a movie theater!

Years later, “Seasoned With Song” is now available in CD format. These are [mostly] English-language songs for the entire holiday cycle — from Rosh HaShanah through Shavuot — as well as a few more general songs that Julie used for concert warmup.

Some are truly outstanding. I especially love her songs for Rosh HaShanah and Purim; and I still use her calendar march to remember the order of the Jewish months — sure beats “30 Days Hath September.”
