Yudis every time my grand children come , we sit by the fireplace and sing these songs. Do you happen to have any other amazing websites?
Do you mind posting any passover songs?
You can find some in the Passover section (under Holidays 2 menu).
I’m happy to read your grandchildren love these songs. There are more songs on other pages of Yiddishfarkinder.com. Check under the Holidays menu, for instance. You could also find other Yiddish songs on the internet if you search on Youtube or the Jewish Sound Archive of Florida Atlantic University.
