Siblings in the Torah: Aaron, Moses and Miriam

"I'll Be There For You" original music video

A music video about the Torah’s most famous siblings: Aaron, Miriam and Moses, (Aharon, Miryam and Moshe in Hebrew) and the many adventures and rivalries they share throughout the Torah.

This piece was created in four weeks by 6 families, brought together by Kevah. Since each of the families had varied backgrounds in studying Torah and were diverse in age, the group decided to take a creative approach to learning text together. The eleven kids aged 5 to 15 along with their parents – a speechwriter, studio painter, landscape architect, art photographer, museum curator, singer, programmer, professor, and several entrepreneurs – decided that they wanted to make an animated musical film about sibling relationships in the Torah.

BimBam developed several workshops for the families to learn text, write a script, paint characters, draw backgrounds, storyboard animations, and practice singing together. To cap the experience, the families lent their voices to the song at Fantasy Studios, a legendary professional recording studio.

Special thanks to The Peleh Fund for conceiving and producing this video, to Jonathan Bayer for composing the original music for “I’ll Be There For You” (and recording it on his marvelous ukulele) and to Kevah for their partnership support.
