Fun In Jerusalem

Pirkei Avot with Yoni and Noni & Rav Beny

There is a new show in town …and its online. Your children can learn about Jewish ethics and special moral lessons while watching  cartoon clips on Ynet. This is not just your everyday cartoon. Pirkei Bubot is a wonderful new Hebrew puppet show staring Yoni, Noni and Rav Beny Lau. Each clip is 4 minutes long and topics include “Treat your friends toys like you would treat your own”, “Learn from others” & “Don’t be embarrassed to ask questions.”

Each clip covers one topic from Pirkei Avot (Ethics of Our Fathers) and relates it directly to kids lives today. New chapters are added each week.  When I watched the first video with my 6 year old son he said “I love this…Can I watch all 8 shows now?”. 

Rav Beny knows how to teach young children and entertain them at the same time. He has appeared on Rechov SumSum (Seame Street) and can be seen live each shabbat at Beit Knesset Ramban in the German Colony, Jerusalem.

You can find Pirkei Bubot on Ynet’s (Hebrew site) Judaism Channel.

***If you have any issues with Ynet’s choice of ads before the video feel free to email them at ads@y-i.co.il ***

This summer was filled with exciting kids activities and festivals in Jerusalem. Thanks to our readers, both locals and tourists, for sending in pictures of their kids enjoying Jerusalem this summer. Jerusalem is a great city for kids of all ages.

Special thanks to Shlomo Katz for providing the music from his new CD Malei Olam.
