Jewish Children's Albums

Does The Purim Story end on a line something like "The king's empire grew stronger,"
or was the copy I had incomplete? (No, it hasn't taken me until now to finish.)

There's a song at the end IIRC

Rebbee Hill just put out 2 new albums. Here is an email I got:

Tayere Helige Zise Rebbee-Hill Chassidim,

Look what we have for you just in time for Yom-Tov,

That's right!

a new Rebbee Hill CD download!!!

entitled "אתם עידי"

for only $10 per download



But wait, it gets even better,

special for our Chassidim we have an additional free download entitled "Lo Sachmod" (with the purchase of "אתם עידי")


be sure to use the Rebbee-Hill-Chassidim promo code at checkout to utilize this promotion

https://www.rebbehill.com/

The "Lo Sachmod" album only about 30 minutes, and it's classic Rebbee Hill. The story of Achav and Navos HaYizraeli. It costs $5 on his website, but it's free with the promo code if you buy both. The other one, Atem Eidai, seems really unique. It's meant for "Older Children or Younger Teens," and it's a "candid conversations and stories".

I didn't have time to listen to it yet, but I'm posting the cover so you can see what it's all about.

Rabbi Shmuel Kleiner's newest album, Stories with Geshmak Volume 12, is now available on Spotify. IINM, it's his first album he put up for streaming.

My kids love these stories, we have probably listened for hundreds of hours in the last 2 months. He's a Rebbe from Toronto. Sounds like some of the stories are recorded in the classroom. It's mostly talking with a sprinkling of singing/guitar/piano.

I'm looking for an Uncle Moishe style kids album that can be played during the three weeks. - appropriate for a two-three year old.
Any Ideas?

Uncle Moishy.

[gozalim]

Uncle Moishy.

does he have any without music?

[dm123]

You're probably not looking for yiddish but what about Lchaim Kindergarten for Sefira If you want kids album without music?

[Euclid]

3 year olds aren't allowed to listen to music?

[gozalim]

I'm just guessing what @yfr bachur was asking.
maybe there are adults in the room who would rather not listen to 'secondhand music'

[Yehuda57]

What is more in the spirit of aveilus, listening to "Sefirah music" or being forced to listen to what your kids are listening to?

Close to an actual quote of what Rav Forscheimer once told me.

Exactly.

Maybe the 20th time in a row your two year old asks for the pizza song again;)
but listening to the albums straight... some of them are enjoyable.

Relax guys!!
I was just wondering any one knew of any childrens sefira album.
I'd rather not listen to any regular music during the three weeks even second hand.
I'm not sure why this is so crazy.
If it doesn't exist, than I'll have to find what to do, but if it does I'd rather play that.

Most kids albums are made to be enjoyable even to adults.
Would you buy an annoying album for your kid if you heard it in the store and he begged for it?

[etech0]

Some of the Rebbee Hill albums don't have music.

The reasoning is sound but I doubt my older kids will get the nuance. It blew their mind that sefira music is allowed.

What I do is that once my kids are old enough that they know music isn't allowed during sefira, I don't play music for them. Even if halachikly allowed at that age (probably 4-5 maybe even 3 for an advanced kid), I feel like it's bad chinuch for them to learn we don't listen to music and then have them listen anyway.
If you are playing it for a 2 year old, you can always tell an older kid that you are just playing it for him, and if you hear because you happen to be there it's ok.
