Editorial Reviews

Spring is here, and it's time to celebrate Passover at Bubbe's. From the creators of the award-winning "Chanuka at Bubbe's" Comes this second in the series on jewish holidays . The outstanding all puppet cast again features bubbe herself...everybody's favorite grandmother. While these delightful characters help bubbe prepare for her annual seder, they are surprised by a talking haggadah and are magically whisked back to egypt during the time of pharaohs. There, they personally experience the trails of captivity and ultimately, a triumphant escape to freedom. Original songs as well as traditional favorites provide a joyous passover experience for the entire family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Execellent Jewish Educational Video, February 22, 2000

This review is from: Passover at Bubbe's [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The best review can only come from my children. My 2 year old son after watching this video know the entire Passover story and can sing all the songs from this video, which are traditional songs sung at a passover seder. My daughter also loves it and at 1 tries to sing along. The both laugh at the kid friendly jokes.

This review is from: Passover at Bubbe's [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is done by the same puppet troupe (and has the same characters) as the award-winning "Chanukkah at Bubbe's" and is the second in their Jewish holiday series. That was the reason I bought it sight unseen -- and I was not disappointed. In fact, I think this video even surpasses the Chanukkah episode.

Bubbe is everybody's loveable Jewish grandmother, who runs a boarding house with a zany variety of characters living there. In this story, all -- well, almost all -- of them pitch in to help Bubbe get ready for Passover. You guessed it -- the lazy guy who tries to get everybody else to do his share of the work for him ends up as Pharoah in the flashback to the days of Moses.

Among of the cutest things on the video are the talking haggadah (Passover book) and the various ritual foods that come to life on the seder plate. The songs are good, too, combining old favorites with new originals. (The "Bubbe's Boarding House" theme song, while not about Passover per se, sure is catchy.) Every kid I have shown this to -- Jewish or not -- has absolutely loved it. Adults will enjoy it, too!

This review is from: Passover at Bubbe's [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My parents recorded this on vhs tape when I was quite young, and it immediately became a hit Passover tradition. I'm out of college now, and still every Passover I think of the video and my brother and I sing the songs from it (well, whatever we can remember). The characters are very entertaining, and it serves its educational purpose well - we never forgot the story of Passover! I can't wait to pass on the legacy to my children.
