Parshat Shemini: The Kosher Animal Song

A musical in two acts, this week's G-dcast is so catchy that you'll be singing it in the shower for the rest of the year. (Just warning you.) DON'T STOP BEFORE YOU GET TO THE SECOND PART AT 1:50!!

This is Episode 26 of the weekly Torah cartoon from G-dcast.com. Each week, a different storyteller - some musical, some poetic, some just straight-up, tell the story of the current Torah portion...and then we animate it!

@sorenkierkegaard2008 Some, yes. In classrooms mostly, or on their newsletters. Generally not in a sanctuary setting because of the rabbinic prohibition on various types of activities on Shabbat and the holidays which includes using the power you'd need to watch videos. :) We animated, by the way, the entire Torah, so yes, the Book of Numbers is all there. Some of my favorite episodes are in that string of pieces...in fact, our pilot episode for the series was Balak, so check that one out.

@gdashdcast Does it get used in synagogues, as well? I think it's pretty awesome. One section I dare you to tackle, though, is the book of numbers. All those lists of people. G-d had to have a reason for them, but I mean, man! Anyway, totally awesome- I love the Torah. I feel like every time I read it, I learn things I didn't notice the last time I read it. It says a great deal about it that it's multivalent like that. P.S. I deleted this comment and rewrote it, because I forgot the dash.

@sorenkierkegaard2008 yeah! You got it. Basically, we are animating the Hebrew Bible aka Torah, and hundreds of Sunday School teachers are using it to make class more fun. But we also realized that bazillions of people are watching it on their own to learn the text! Neato. Glad you liked it! We have 62 more shorts...check em out!

Is this like a Jewish Synagogue Sunday school- errr, Saturday school- thing? I mean, it's not a Christian sunday school thing, right? Whatever the case, it's awesome.
