REVIEWS OF PRAY FOR THE PEACE
If I did not have to work, etc, I would spend all of my time harmonizing to every song! I don't want to gush at you three, but I listen to every Jewish CD and for my taste, This is the best new one I have heard in what seems like much too long a time.

Kol hakavod on your new baby! Solid production and tight harmonies...well done. My favorite is the last cut..Pray for the Peace – a great peace anthem.

I've been listening over and over and really enjoying. There are SO MANY GREAT NEW (and moving / singable / teachable) SONGS on this CD. Steve's incredible voice and guitar, Robbi's amazing harmonies, songcrafting (and mandolin!) and Scott's extraordinary piano make a winning combo!

I was listening to the Sababa’s new CD (which, by the way, sounds spectacular!), and watching a slide show
of my daughter's wedding album (which after almost 2 years finally got laid out for proofing.) The cut of
"Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem" came on just as Jay and I started watching the album and it was the most
magical moment I've experienced since the wedding itself. I've had the original pix (over 1000) on the
computer since the wedding, but seeing it all laid out in montage, brought the entire day flashing back. The
background music brought it all together, and was the perfect accompaniment for my reverie. Your song will
be forever entwined with the wonderful memories I have. It is a truly moving song and deserves to be
elevated to the "anthem" status that you alluded to at the concert Saturday night. Yasher Koach and todah rabbah. You made my day!.

Thanks, Robbi, it went great teaching Sababa’s Love Adonai. I taught your song to my 3, 4, 5 graders, also 6&7--we all love it! I brought a few drums and tambourines, even the teachers were rockin' and drumming and smiling! Thanks, you've put me on a good track with these kids.
