Since you are in Ontario, the Lubavitch Library in Thornhill offers many Jewish videos and I let my children watch anything they have-they get new things in all the time and some of them are quite good. (The librarian would help with topics and critique, I am sure.)
When we want our children not to desire to see what some of their classmates or friends are watching from secular sources, I have found it best to give them free rein at the Lubavitch Library-books too of course. This way they don't miss what they can't have-because they are too busy enjoying what they do have.
Hope this helps.

7 Diamonds, so nuuuu? Do we perhaps know each other:)
Actually we frequent the library at Chabad Gate very very regularly. Will be there tommorow morning IY"H. However I want to expand our own collection since we dont watch secular TV or videos, we need more videos.

if it is just to expand and not specifically chinuch, kids love the fun concerts. There is a miami and circus concert, and the hasc 18 everyone loves.
You may want to try those.

theres the Rashi video which is well done but controversial for a few reasons.
I love the animated Torah Tots series, but I dont think a 9 yr old would enjoy them. im just amazed how they take the Yetzer Hara and portray it so well. There are really wonderful lessons in those stories. I think theyre brilliant. but it depends what type your 9 yr old is, I think.

Why don't you ask at the library for suggestions? She's really good at knowing what someone will like.
Also, Dinah can ask her friends what they like. (I'll volunteer my sister as a source!)
Once you've found favorites, then buy those!

Why is the Rashi video controversial?



The same folks who made the Rashi video (Destiny Foundation) also have one called "A Taste of Heaven" which is Baal Shem Tov stories, and a new one, "Rambam."

Nehama:)))) I thought that adorable pic was your baby and ofcourse you the mother. So excited to see you on here, was not sure it was you, you just clarified it for me. So nuuu, my cover is blown huh:)

We have seen library videos until I hear them in my sleep. Got a little collection going over here too, B"H, but always on prowl for more, I'm greedy.
Thanks for all the ideas everyone!

I disagree on all these accounts.

menucha fuchs is wonderful but I haven't seen any with kids over age 9 in them. if there are kids playing together, they are younger and portrayed as siblings

wonderful middos, social skills, israeli scenery, learning and light-hearted. very appropriate, I think. (I am SUPER picky on these things; these are abou the only videos I have. and they are actually cd-roms. work without a dvd player.)

Upthread someone said the Rashi video was controversial

Why is it controversial?



Thanks in advance for any response.

My question would be : Isn't Sabba Hoshia a MAN?? OR is he?? Cause it looks like a fake beard shock Anyway these girls are allowed to hug and grab him?? Confused

Not familiar with the one you're discussing (Menucha Fuchs) but if it's a sabba, aren't little girls and big girls allowed to hug and kiss their sabbas?

shock

Repeating my question, already posted twice. Why is the "Rashi" video controversial?

Maybe I need to send a PM to the original poster of this ...

sorry about that, Merpk. I didnt see your question until now.
one reason its controversial is because the Catholics in the videos have real crosses around their necks, and people dont like the idea of their kids staring at the crosses throughout the video.
second reason is a (short) swordfight that boys always end up imitating.
thats all the info I know about this.
