Description
OyBaby is a first-of its-kind video and CD that combines stimulating imagery with beautiful and fun Hebrew songs to create a rich Jewish experience for babies age six months and up.

The imagery is a colorful mix of Judaica, toys, puppets, nature, and children. Each song on the video has a blend of some or all of these elements. Between songs, short interlude scenes teach Hebrew letters, numbers, and vocabulary and show the joy of giving tzedakah.

However, the visuals are only half of the magic in OyBaby. The music is a captivating journey of familiar Hebrew songs for both babies and any nearby adults to enjoy. These are the songs you remember from summer camp and youth group. From the jungle-drum infused rhythms of Zum Gali Gali to a swinging jazz rendition of Eitz Chayim, this is one baby video parents won't mind watching again and again.

Just Great!.......2007-06-12

I think the only negative thing that I can say about this video is that OyBaby2 is even better. The songs are all great, the graphics are nice (be aware, they're not high-tech as this is clearly a fairly low-budget production, but that doesn't diminish them at all), the kids are all adorable, and the puppets are the best.

I especially liked that it wasn't the least bit "preachy" about Judaism. Sure, it's all about Judaism, Jews, and Judaica (it IS called OyBaby after all), but it never even comes close to saying that anything is right or wrong; it just sings songs, shows the Hebrew alphabet, etc.

We got it for our son when he was about 1 and he loved it; he still enjoys it at 2 and my wife and I both like the songs so we suspect he won't get bored anytime soon; OyBaby2, however, is probably better for a child a tiny bit older than this one (say, for a child one and a half or older).

I'm sure your little one (and you) will enjoy this as much as ours did.

Fantastic entertainment! And you don't have to be Jewish to love it!.......2007-02-20

My son Noah loves this dvd. He is just a little over one and is mesmerized by the singing, the puppets and the nature imagery. I absolutely love the music in it. We have a lot of non-Jews in our lives and they all love it as well. Everyone that has come in contact with it has been very impressed. The music really makes the whole thing. I stumbled across it on accident and I am so happy for this wonderful discovery! I can't wait to hear Noah singing "Dayenu" at Passover in a year or two and it will because of 'Oybaby.'

Great songs and fun product.......2007-01-11

This is a fun product and highlights some basics in Hebrew and Jewish traditions. I often turn the DVD on in the background without the video so we can listen to the songs while playing.

Great video for babies and toddlers.......2005-02-07

I bought this for my 1 year old because we wanted a Jewish alternative to all of the 'Baby Einstein'-type videos that are on the market. We love that the songs are all well-known Jewish songs, and the video includes blessings and Hebrew numbers and letters. The production values are great, and my toddler loves the music and the imagery. He claps his hands during his favorite songs and studies the puppets and children with rapt attention. I absolutely recommend this for Jewish parents looking for a baby video that provides Jewish culture while also entertaining baby.

Beautiful baby-paced Jewish imagery to divine sung harmonies.......2004-11-09

There is a special intimacy & fineness to things made with love. This video is an unexpectedly tender love-valentine. Rob & Lisi made it for their baby boy because they loved him. They wanted to share things he loved -- menorahs and alephs and his baby friends -- with music he loved, at a pace which he could absorb. The songs are also born in love. The music is three sisters singing, as they have sung together all their lives.

"Well, I learned not to take all the babies to the video-shoot at once," said Rob afterward, laughing. "Three or four at a time is plenty."

The imagery alone is lovely. I have given two copies to Christian friends, just because its pace is so baby-perfect; think "Sesame Street from the Rebbe." But the soundtrack is what lifts it to the divine. These three women's voices ARE a temple. Showered in their harmonies, watching the beautiful sacred things unfold at baby pace, one is healed.

"Sparking a lifetime of Jewish wonderment through sight and song," say Rob & Lisi (www.oybaby.com). Wonder is the right word.

A great gift for Hanukkah or birthday. Made for Jewish babies, engaging for all.

I am 65 years old; our grandkids are 10, 8, and 8. Still wanted these for Mother's Day because they are so charming and special! Will get the OyBabys for baby gifts! Love them - both 1 and2... I will take them back to my annual grade school best friends' reunion to share! Thanks!

My boys love it!!!.......2006-10-05

My two year old twins LOVE this video, as well as the 1st Oy Baby. They have been watching it since they were one and they never tire of it. The music is beautiful and the pictures are entertaining. Now the boys are starting to repeat the Hebrew songs, prayers, letters and numbers!!
