“Robyn Shippel and Shabbat Rocks were absolutely amazing! Our teens really enjoyed the fun and unique Shabbat experience that was given to them. Their energy and love for Judaism and Jewish music was reflected throughout their entire performance. In the future, we would love to have them perform at another event for our teens!”

— Sami Gannon, Temple Sinai Dir. of Youth & Teen Programming

“Shabbat Rocks really does Rock! Our BBYO teens were looking for a different Shabbat experience and we got what we were looking for! The band was so great to work with and tailored services to meet our needs. Two days after their performance we booked them for our next event! ”

— Josh Cohen, Program Director, Connecticut Valley Region BBYO, CVR BBYO

“Rock the Shabbat Have you ever fantasized about having Mick Jagger over to Shabbat dinner? On Shabbat Rocks, singer Robyn Shippel puts on a leather jacket and an electric guitar and cranks the volume to 10 for an album of Shabbat songs unlike any other--it swaggers, thunders, and unabashedly rocks. The album starts with bombastic drums and a low bass. A chorus of kids chants, in a menacing undertone, "Zoom. Zoom. Zoom."Guitar and voices explode, singing a never-before-heard version of a traditional Shabbat song: "Zum Gali Gali." Shabbat Rocks is aimed at children, but it's great for anyone learning about Shabbat--or anyone in the mood for an adrenaline-fused Day of Rest. In addition to traditional songs, there's a complete set of Shabbat blessings (to recite over candles, wine, challah, and children). Even people who don't need help remembering "Bim Bam" or "Hinei Ma Tov" can rock out to these old favorites.”

— Matthue Roth, Jewniverse

“Congregation Shaarey Zedek was blown away by Shabbat Rocks. Robyn and Bram were engaging, energetic, fun, and our families couldn’t get enough. It was a real treat for all of us to have them with us. We can’t wait to have them again.”

— Rabbi Joseph H. Krakoff, Congregation Shaarey Zedek

“Robyn and Bram are OUTSTANDING! They created an engaging and meaningful prayer experience for young children and their parents and grandparents, a home run on every level. On top of that, they were a pleasure to work with! I recommend them to anyone reaching out to young children and their families.”

— Rabbi Aaron L. Starr, Congregation Shaarey Zedek

“For those to whom the title seems like an oxymoron, Shabbat Rocks might just be the perfect religious wake-up call...”

— John McCurdy, Atlanta Jewish Times

“If the first word that comes to mind when you hear Shabbat Shalom is “HEY”, then you are in good company... “We don’t know what is in store for my future as a contemporary Jewish artist,” says Robyn, “We’re just doing that feels right and natural to us, spreading the joy of Shabbat to all who want to celebrate. Who knows what’s next, perhaps Chanukah rocks, but there’s always Purim and the double live album we’ll need to record in order to cover all of Passover. There is so much to celebrate in being Jewish and so much music for us to record and perform; it could literally keep us busy for a lifetime.” ”

— The Jewish Georgian, The Jewish Georgian (Pg. 12)
