Second, since we just finished and restarted  reading the torah, I thought that it might be nice to have an activity that explores what’s in […]

Alef Bet App is live

So cool. I got to animate an app! “Hebrew Karaoke” features a brand new song from musician Mama Doni, and animation by yours truly. It’s a very catchy tune with a country vibe, and the app lets you add your own instruments, and record your own voice singing along. Great for learning/ practicing the alef bet. […]

Tisha B’Av is this Tuesday. Because of all that’s going on in Israel, it’s going to be even more meaningful than usual for me, I think. So I thought it was appropriate for this months image to be one that shows support for Israel, and the hope that Jerusalem, and all of Israel, enjoys a […]

And cook for Shabbat… Anyway, this one was fun to draw–hope you like! Just print and click. (and if that’s not working for you…here […]
