Geula Gill, a former kindergarten teacher in Israel, sings spirited holiday songs for children. The songs, sung in Hebrew, are for the holidays of Hanukkah, Purim, Sukkot, Simchat Tora, Pesach, Shavuot, Tu Bishvat, Rosh Hashana, and the Sabbath. Ms. Gill is accompanied by a quartet directed by husband Dov Seltzer, a prominent Israeli composer and conductor. Mr. Seltzer also composed the music for some of the songs. Ms. Gill and Mr. Seltzer have recorded Yemenite and Other Israeli Folksongs and Israel Dances, both available on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.

The liner notes provide background information on each holiday, biographical information about Ms. Gill and Mr. Seltzer, and the lyrics of each song, in Hebrew and English.
