Dvorin, Principal, Hillel Torah Day School From the Artist I, Ronit Ben-Arie, Composed and produced the songs with love for children. As a Hebrew teacher, I have written the songs out of the need to have more tools to teach Hebrew with. Before publishing these songs I and other teachers have tried them with many children. I have decided to produce this CD in the most professional manner since I have witnessed the enthusiastic responses of children and teachers to the songs. It was very important to me to follow the high standards of my musical education. I have put a lot of effort in designing the different musical arrangements. Each song is composed and musically arranged to describe the lyrics. In the process of producing the CD,I have worked with a group of very capable musicians. Sharon Alcalay, an outstanding vocalist, sang the songs with her wonderful clear voice and immense professional understanding and sensitivity. Lisa Segal exquisitely performed the accompanying vocal parts and
