Gladys Gewirtz circa 1965
Gladys Gewirtz touched the lives of thousands of people who never met her. Her recordings were among the first that were digitized and played on the JSA website (www.fau.edu/jsa). Over 60 years ago, Gladys Gewirtz, had the idea of creating recordings for young Jewish children. Together with her sister, Roz Grossman who wrote the lyrics and patter between songs, she produced recordings based on familiar fairy tales and nursery rhymes.

Passover traditions and memories . . . .
A time for family gatherings.
A time to ask the ”four questions.”
A time to search for the afikomen.
A time to recite the ten plagues.
A time for choroses and horseradish on matzo.
A time for Elijah’s glass of wine.
The Passover Seder allows us to join together in the warmth and safety of our homes to celebrate and remember our Jewish heritage.
If music and song have been a part of your Passover Seder over the years the recordings in the JSA’s Passover Collection of Songs are sure to revive nostalgic memories of the past and to inspire new traditions for the future. Read More About This…
