Jewish Stories with Songs—for Children

Two Jewish Storytelling Recordings—on CD or to download

Here's the bundle of my Jewish stories for children. Both recordings:

• Mix original Jewish stories with original songs;
• Are highly participatory, with songs to sing and words to chant along with;
• Feature musical accompaniments: 12-string guitar, 5-string banjo, flute and (in Now We Are Free) the rich, mellow sound of the brass-reed button accordion;
• Are appropriate for Jews and non-Jews alike;
• Will be loved by children—and their parents and teachers.

1. One Little Candle

Join right in with rhythmic repetition, singing, and surprising sounds - in a joyful celebration of the Feast of Lights, for Jews and non-Jews alike.

Each story has an inclusive message of warmth and hope, exploring the Hanukkah themes of light, renewal, and standing up for the right to be yourself.

Perfect for children ages three and up.

"A recording for Jews and non-Jews alike, it spins and weaves a message of warmth, hope, and belonging. 'One Little Candle' explores the Hanukkah themes of light, renewal, and standing up for your right to be yourself." - The Somerville (MA) Journal

Extra: Read (and print out) the free instructions for participation.

Usual price: 1 CD in jewel case, $15.97. Download, $10.97.

2. Now We Are Free

A family program for the Jewish holiday of Passover, celebrating the escape from slavery of the Jews - and, by implication, of people everywhere from the bonds that enslave them.

In these all-new stories and songs, (many based on rare Jewish legends), Doug tells the story of the Exodus as seen from many angles—from the humorous to the deeply moving.

Here is something for everyone—Jews and non-Jews, from kindergarten to adult - to enjoy, learn from, and be inspired by.

"Captivating tales...energetic performance...beautifully told." - Booklist
