Not so sure
Nice video. But... the Torah does not really tell us live anywhere. The Torah wants us to live in Eretz Yisroel. Sure we can do some of the mitzvos elsewhere, but many require the zechus of living in the holy land.

classic
You guys rock! Punchy and tasteful humour, wild, captivating visuals, thought provoking insights with an expertly timed build up, random surprises that give a polished edge and class all the way home. You guys pass every tick in scriptwriting and story telling theory and it just works so smoothly. I love what you're doing and i give you a blessing that you should move on to hollywood and rock the whole world with what only you can. Keep 'em rolling baby, and snowball to ever greater depths and heights!

My mind is spinning
Awsum TorahTune. Could you really be shomrei Mitzvot on the moon or cancun? I need to ponder. Pass me the Borei Peri Hagefen with the umbrella so that i can sip and contemplate....hmmm ...is there any place we can not take Torah?
I cant wait to see where these Torah Tunes take Torah Next.
Lchaim!

Great, but a little too short
These videos are fantastic, but how about a more developed plot? Just when they get going the video's over.

These videos are totally good! The kids' imagination is spinning and so is mine. I really wish that the video was a little longer though because every time it gets to the interesting part, the video ends. Other than that everything is just wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

very interesting
It is the first time that Dinah appears in a video. I had curiosity of how it would be her voice. For me, the Dinah of the Torah must be very similar to the Dinah that appears here.
Thank You Very Much

Just classic!
Thanks for another classic animation! It’s great to see Chabad.org broadening its scope by catering for our kids through these films. It really adds another dimension to your website. I can’t wait to show this to my children tonight. They spark fun and interesting discussions about Torah. Also, the way you’ve tied them to a set of questions, games and activities works great. Here’s a little secret… I love them to!

Cuuute
Next time, have two seperate voices for the kids. It's a little funny that the boy and girl's voice are the same. Not to mention, the boy's voice is quite feminine.

Genius
Such a cool idea.
I showed to my class of 14 year olds and they really loved it! It iintroduced them to new ideas about the Torah in a very creative way.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Being Jewish in space is not really a viable idea.
The last sentence did not make sense.

A big part of Jewish is doing things (or not doing things) on the correct days, for example, keeping Shabbos from when it begins to when it ends.

On the International Space Station, you experience several sunrises and sunsets during each 24 hours, because you go around the world so quickly. You are somewhere that it is Friday afternoon, then somewhere that it is Shabbos, then back to somwhere that it is Friday daytime, then the sun sets again and Shabbos starts again, this repeats many times; then you are somewhere that it is Saturday night and you start Havdalah, but then you are back to somewhere that it is still Shabbos, it is all very confusing.

Because the entire Passover seder must be at night and it is night for less than an hour at a time, you would have to rush.

And the same problem, in reverse, applies to the morning service, which must be during the day, even though it is day for less than an hour at a time.

Could the Oral Torah be given in a vacuum?
Sound does not travel on the moon. Sound can exist only where there is something (air) through which it can travel. Even if G-d spoke all the words of the Torah on the moon, no one there would here him (unless they used radios in their helmets, which poses another problem, because it was Yom Tov and radios are electric.
