Album Notes

The most sacred of Traditions, a "Bat Mitzvah"celebrates the journey by a Jewish Girl to Womanhood.

Proudly, her parents, family and friends smile at her recital of her "Hoftorah". That portion of the Torah will always remind her of this special day.

Grandma Rita has written an Original Bat Mitzvah Song in English to futher celebrate this momentous occasion. To quote some of the lyrics "You make us proud to know and love the woman you'll become. May you continue to walk with our Lord and still have fun".

Then Gandma Rita belts out eight all time Hebrew Dance Favorites: Artsa Alinu, Havenu Shalom Alechem, Tzena Tzena, Dayenu, Hava Nagila, Akshav Beretz Yisrael, Zum Gali Gali, Oseh Shalom, and Hatikvah. That's Ten vocals for your listening or dancing enjoyment.

This musical interlude lasts approximately ten minutes,just enough time to knock the socks off the Bat Mitzvah Girl and all your guests. So, form a circle or grab a partner, and "Mazel Tov"!

Popular in Europe a s well as the good old "USA",Grandma Rita's songs can be found in the "Top 100 Popular Songs in Children's Music" in the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Belgium and also Japan.
