    I received this CD four days ago and have already played it so much that I've unconsciously memorized the words! These women have superb voices that blend together beautifully. Some of the songs really make you think...and some of them really make you dance! ...get out your tambourines and drums! Excellent!

  • Beautiful!

    Wonderful CD. The first number, Heart Beat, has haunted me ever since I heard the first excerpt on the artists' website. These musicians are very professional, very musical, and a whole lot of fun. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who wants to hear Jewish music with a new take on tradition.
