I use both of those series for my conservative elementary school students and they are quite successful. If you can manage to find the series "In the beginning" animated by Osamu Tezuka, produced by the Nippon Television network, I would HIGHLY recommend it. It is a 25 volume set from 1995 and it is my most prized and popular set in the collection. While it does include the story of Jesus in the last tape the rest of the series is a Old Testament and is well done. Unlike some other sets, it also has some of the more "unfindable" stories, like Abraham and Isaac, as well as breaking down some of the bigger stories to smaller episodes (ie Joseph and his coat, Joseph in Egypt, etc...) I got it at Biblemovies.com - also a Christian site, but this series is very appropriate. I despair that I haven't found it on DVD so far. Good luck Talya

It is a Christian-oriented company. However, I spoke with a rep who told me that a Rabbi sat on their Board, reviewed all of the animated films of stories from the Hebrew Bible, and deemed them suitable for Jewish children. Also, I think that the Hanna-Barbera series is okay. Thanks, Natasha Vancouver Talmud Torah School ________________________________ From: Johnson, Naomi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 06, 2012 10:03 AM To: Natasha Krause Subject: RE: bible story dvds Please share your findings with the listserv. There are so many children's stories that have a Christian undertone it would be nice to see which are appropriate for Jewish children.

I understand the Hanna Barbera series is fine. What about the 'Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible' series? Are those stories from the Hebrew Bible also appropriate for our day school?
