Good Morning!<\/a>, <\/i>a book and cd set from Kar-Ben by Rabbi Joe Black, better known to a few lucky souls as Nina&#8217;s brother.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Those of you who know me or who have been reading <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/homeshuling\">homeshuling<\/a> for a while know that I&#8217;m not a big fan of most contemporary Jewish music. (In <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/homeshuling\/2009\/03\/this-jewish-life.html\">this old post<\/a>, I am a little too harsh, but if you will read it you&#8217;ll find out what celebrity was the magician at my fourth birthday party. Come on, you know you wanna click&#8230;.) This song didn&#8217;t change my mind about the genre, which tends to be too earnest and devotional for my taste. But that Joe Black &#8211; he has a voice <i>like buttah<\/i>. He just might get you and yours out of bed in a good mood, even the morning after.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>To be eligible, you&#8217;ll need to post a comment, because I love reading your comments. The topic? I can&#8217;t help but ask&#8230;.how do you get your kids out of bed in the morning? Me, I bribe them with tv. I&#8217;m a little ashamed that they start each and every weekday with 20 minutes in front of the boob tube, but it works. And the tv doesn&#8217;t go on again until they are ready for bed that night. You know, like book ends. Without the books. (We do books too. I promise.)
