Praise for Videos that I am a Fan Of

I have been showing my kids a series of videos called quest of oiz by chayolei tzivos Hashem on chabad.org, though in general I am not a fan of showing kids videos frequently, these were done very professionally and typical nowadays kids who begin to really care about things that are important! Such as being in Hashems army and caring about yiddishkeit etc
