5 Stars Discounting Recording Problems.......2007-05-14
The content is terrific. This CD is one of a series of classical music masters. The only problem is that tracks 38 and later have a lot of distortion/static. I returned thinking it was a problem with the disc, but the replacement disc had the same problem. If not for that, I would have rated 5 stars.
Perfect for homeschooling........2007-01-29
The narratives are short enough to keep your children's attention, the music may be short in some instances but if you're playing it in the background for exposure- it doesn't matter. The price is great and the cheapest you'll find in addition to the 4 for 3 deal. We have all 18 of these cds and don't regret it!
In Words & Music.......2000-07-24
I have found this recording series to be a very helpful introductory teaching device for my young children. It gives a brief history of the composer and samples of the musical style.
Don't blink.......2000-05-03
The music on this CD is all wonderful, and it's a perfect CD toget - if you have the attention span of a soap bubble! Thisis a "sampler" with narrative and very few of thepieces listed are actually played in their entirety. Even pieces which are short to begin with are excerpted. We are given a whole minute of the Hallelujah Chorus and a rousing 45 seconds from the overture from "Ezio". This is a teaching CD which gives some fine examples to support the narration - but they are very short examples. A few bars here and there is all you get.

Album Description
Shalom Yeladim/Hello Children has become a classic with Jewish families everywhere. First released in 1982 by multi-award winning children's performer, Judy Caplan Ginsburgh, Shalom Yeladim is considered the ultimate Jewish children's recording. It has been praised not only for its amazing content, but for its presentation and clarity as well. Shalom Yeladim contains all of the essential Jewish pre-school song favorites which have been sung for generations by Jewish children. It has been called the Jewish pre-school "Top 40" and has won a Mazel Tov award for best Jewish childrens tape and a Parents' Choice Silver Honor. It was also listed in Moment Magazine as one of the Top Ten Jewish children's recordings and has been called "The Best Jewish Children's Recording of the Decade!" Lyrics and translations to all songs are included.
Customer Reviews:
great collection!.......2007-01-15
Buy it! - contains if not all then very many 'classic' Jewish songs, clearly sung. My kids love it. Enough said.
One of the best.......2005-04-11
Shalom Yeladim is a classic. It is one of the best Jewish albums I have ever heard for children. The selections are outstanding because they are basic to what young Jewish children learn in preschools today. And Judy Ginsburgh's voice is clear and warm. Her musical style is simple and direct - perfect for small children who are learning new songs and beginning Hebrew. If you want to purchase a first CD for your child or grandchild with a huge selection of traditional Hebrew songs sung by one of the easiest to listen to voices on the planet, Shalom Yeladim is it!
Does Not Feel Sincere.......2005-01-08
The material on this CD is good however, the singer, Judy, is not at all convincing. The vocal performance feels stiff, forced and not very sincere. I will give her an A for effort but this sounds like an opera singer who is singing for adults and looking down upon children. There is nothing friendly about her approach except for her good choice of songs. I think Judy Caplan Ginsburgh would make a good record maker for someone who could sing these songs in a tender like way. As I said, she should get an A for effort because she has chosen good songs, though she is not the one who should sing them.
An essential for Jewish preschoolers.......2001-01-13
We purchased this album on cassettte along with Judy Ginsburgh's "Boker Tov/Laila Tov" and now we're buying them both on cd because we've played through the cassette tapes! We especially like "Shalom Yeladim" because of the logical way in which Ginsburgh has organized it: the album progresses from general songs (Bim Bam, Boker Tov, etc.), to blessings and then to songs about specific holidays. She's really covered all the bases and done it in a way that our kids love. Happy listening and shalom!
Wonderful children's album.......2000-04-11
This is a great children's album. It contains all the favorite and popular children's Hebrew songs. My kids are really enjoying hearing the songs that they are learning at Sunday School. Judy Ginsburgh has a beautiful voice and the songs are clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend it!

Soothing.......2003-04-05
I find this CD really soothes my road rage in the car and makes me feel that nothing bothers me. Overall, the tracks may sound similar if you are paying attention to your driving, but that's not a bad thing when they're all good. But when I bring it inside and pay attention, I find the subtleties to be enjoyable and charming. Avinu Malkeinu is my favorite, bringing tears to my eyes the first time I heard this version.
This CD was a recommendation to me by friends, and now I am making the same recommendation to others.
Pure ahhhhhhhh.......2002-12-02
This music arranged by Rachel Van Voorhees is simply beautiful and relaxing. There are 35 separate pieces, varied and lovely. There are some klezmer-origin type songs, yet they are lively but soft, and blend well with the rest of the CD. The sound quality is excellent.
Though I haven't been raised with Jewish music and therefore don't know whether the meanings of some of the songs would be appropriate for various formal events (like weddings), I can say that out of the 35 songs, there are surely some that would be suitable regardless of whether the event is a wedding, a nice Shabbat dinner, meditation, or simply relaxation as you're falling asleep.
Definitely on MY list of Jewish favorites!.......2001-03-09
This CD by master harpist Rachel Van Voorhees has over 25 tracks of wonderful Jewish music. You'll find favorites such as Zum Gali Gali, Dreydl, Erev Shel Shoshannim, Hatikvah, Kvare Achare Chatzot (my personal favorite) and many, many other selections. Van Voorhees exhibits a wide array of tone colors, tempos, and styles in the music, which she arranged herself. This CD would make a perfect gift, and would serve well as background music to any party, Shabbat dinner, or simply as a relaxer! I highly recommend Rachel Van Voorhees' Jewish Favorites.

Blissful music.......2006-04-12
Handel's "The Gods Go A-Begging" is one of my favorites. I have heard this conducted by Gardiner which is slightly different, but I dont believe it is available. This piece of music was unavailable for purchase for so many years, and I only could hear it when I requested it on my local classical radio station. So worth having. It absolutley speaks to my heart - as does most Bach music.
Great music--poor quality recording!.......2005-01-25
These orchestral suites by Handel are hard to find. I have a cassette tape of them conducted by Yo Yo Mah but I can't find any CD of this recording. I feel a little abashed about liking this music so much because it employs a larger orchestra than Handel ever dreamed of--they're a bit over the top. But I really like them, especially "Gods Go A'Begging." This recording, however, is very old and sounds like a 78rpm record. I give it 4 stars simply because this music is hard to find.

A favorite for 30 years.......2006-10-05
Like the next reviewer, I had this on record, and now have the CD. I have loved this music for 30 years. If you love 20th century American music, give it a try. I wish you as much pleasure as I have received from it.
Proof that American songs can be great.......2002-07-05
I have had the lp issue of this album for many years and have enjoyed it more with each encounter. The songs by Duke, Bowles, Citkowitz, Chanler, and Copland are based on some familiar poems, but the songs are not, themselves, well-known. I particularly have liked the witty and memorable Duke settings of E.A. Robinson's "Luke Havergal" and "Miniver Cheevy," but the real musical highlight of the disc would probably be the settings of James Joyce's "Chamber Music" by Israel Citkowitz. Donald Gramm is in fine voice for his selections and Bethany Beardslee proves again her legendary status as an interpreter of all kinds of modern music. It is definitely a good thing that this has been reissued on CD and I hope it will reach a wide audience.

Album Description
Of all Handel's great oratorios, Israel in Egypt is second only to Messiah in drama. It is dominated by massive virtuosic choruses, making it the perfect piece for The Sixteen, acknowledged by audiences and critics alike as "one of the great choirs of our day" (Gramophone).
It's not surprising that Israel in Egypt is much-performed. Hailstones and lightning, buzzing flies and leaping frogs, are all brilliantly evoked for choir and orchestra in a series of incisive choruses leading us excitedly through the plagues of Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea as we follow Moses and the Children of Israel through the story of the Exodus. The epic nature of the story could not be more suited to Handel's genius for story-telling and drama.
This CD is based on the first published edition (1771), omitting five arias and two short choruses.
