I knew within five minutes that this television program (Shalom at Home) belonged on JLTV. Shelley and Adrienne’s energy and enthusiasm jump right off the screen, and I cannot wait for our audience to dance and sing to ‘Rhythm ‘N Ruach.’

Auntie A is a phenomenal child educator full of warmth and enthusiasm for connecting with little people. My 12 month old loves her fun, interactive Rhythm 'N' Ruach class. He particularly loves getting his hands on a wide array of musical instruments, from small egg shakers, to large hand drums, switching to different instruments throughout the class to hold his interest. The class is great for engaging older toddlers and children as well. It incorporates some Hebrew words in the songs, some yoga poses, and lots of music and movement. Highly recommended!

My daughter, granddaughter and I attended Auntie A's session last Shabbat. Jenny Gendel and Ava were the other ones there. The session was held outside on the front patio. My granddaughter was shy at first but by the end she was relaxed and loving it. Auntie A's combination of rhythm, movement, chant, song, explanation and humor won us over.

We took our 3 & 1 year olds to one of these sessions, and it was amazing! Adrienne did such a great job of keeping the kids engaged through the music and dancing. Having it all revolve around Judaism was the icing on the cake. Almost 2 weeks after we attended, my 3 year old said to me, “I want to go to temple and sing and dance like we did with Auntie.” This is a great program that I recommend to all families!

A fun filled musical experience. Our baby, 3 year old and 5 year old all love it!! . Love the Jewish content too.

You know you're doing a great job shaping young minds when the kids come and continue what you have taught them.... and to think they don't even see you daily... My sons spontaneously burst into song and the Hallelu song was his song of choice!!

Love this concept! We have enjoyed introducing Judaism to our son, by working with Adrienne through Zoom and watching the on demand videos. She is so kind and loving. Her heart shines through her work and especially through her voice. It has been such a positive part of our life and a great way to provide our son with Jewish continuity so that we can successfully pass on our traditions.
