4 out of 5 stars My kids' favorite Jewish music tape -- and mine too!.......1998-06-15

Craig and Co.'s CD, "My Jewish Discovery" delights us every time we listen to it. I have worn out and scratched my original copy and am ordering another. My second grader likes it and my fifth grader loves it. The music is not traditional songs you know, but new songs, each in a different musical style, from zydeco to rock to rap. My only criticism is a track or two of talking by a famous Yiddish actor. It's okay once, but we don't need to listen to it over and over. The Chanukah rap song, "Go Judah" is our absolute favorite.

4 out of 5 stars Positive, pro-diversity music.......2001-05-30

This tape was a gift and we've all really come to enjoy the catchy melodies and people-positive lyrics. It includes songs about Jewish heritage, lovely examples of how to talk to G-d on an informal daily basis, and hopes for peace between Jews and Arabs all in language kids can understand. For all the above, it's happy, not serious or preachy. I recommend it for all ages.
