Shazak… What’s it all about?

Thousands of frum millennials grew up with the sights and sounds of Shazak videos and books: Queen of Persia, Out of Egypt, and Miracle Lights.

Now, Rabbi Moshe Moscowitz—the creator, voice-technician, humorist, and designer behind the beloved series—has unveiled the fruits of years of painstaking research, writing, and recording. The newly released Shazak Parsha gives parents and friends the opportunity to give the ultimate Chanukah gift, one that is bound to keep children learning, engaged, and entertained all year long.

Using a blend of audio effects, thousands of custom-drawn illustrations, cutting-edge technology, and a good dose of humor, Shazak Parsha keeps children riveted as they listen, read, draw, and play their way through the weekly Torah portion.

From Shazak App to NakiRadio to Shazak Web

Originally released, in 2016 as an app (for Android and iOS), the Shazak Parsha Experience has grown to include a home or classroom experience with audio and visuals, quizzers, online coloring sheets, insights, mock news reports, games, and just enough humor to keep kids hooked.

In 2018 Shazak joined the NakiRadio and quickly became one of the most popular stations.

Since it was released in Nov. 2020, Shazak Parsha has become a staple in classrooms and homes all over the world. Recommended for students between the ages of 3 and 103, Shazak lives up to its tagline: Geared for Kids, Great for Adults.

Behind the Scenes

“Shazak grew out of how I taught my first graders many years ago, as well as a sefer I wrote on the weekly Parsha, called Tzohar Lateiva,” says Moscowitz, a longtime resident of Chicago. “It has since become an all-encompassing learning experience that children all over the world—and their parents—look forward to each week. Our team is continuously adding new features. And the secret to our success is the feedback we get from teachers, parents, and kids. They tell us what works for them, and we make it happen.”

An educator with years of classroom experience, and an early adopter to technology, Moscowitz is also an accomplished researcher and scholar, a published authority on Rambam and other historic figures in Jewish history.

I would like to commend you on the fantastic Shazak series. It’s an amazing tool for our teachers in Torah Academy. At home, my own children are enthralled with the book. They love the cartoons, corny jokes and detailed pictures. It really brings the story to life. Thank you for creating a Judaic resource that truly enhances a child's learning experience!

Shazak P.O.P. – Parsha on a Page. Genius! We make sure to print this up before Shabbos and our kids use it to tell the Parsha of the Week in a glance… SHAZAK STYLE! There is a lot of laughter at our table. TY, SHAZAK! Truth be told, I don’t know who enjoys it more… us or the kids?!

I am blown away by how much content there is on Shazak website and for all ages. I showed our Kindergarten class the weekly parsha video and they were spellbound. Absolutely amazing. TY!

HELP! Shazak has made our bedtime extend for more than an hour! How can we be expected to read all 108 pages every single night? Yawn… Can you please make an abridged version for tired parents? ZZZZzzzzz…..

We are a homeschooling family who want to instill a love for learning Torah and Mitzvos into our children. Although I work a full-time job and my wife manages our household of 5 children, we make a concerted effort to make the Torah come to life....and Shazak helps us do exactly that!

My super talented and creative uncle, Rabbi Moshe Moscowitz, runs an amazing website – Shazak.com – that I would love to share and recommend. Really entertaining and so funny. And of course, educational! Its tagline is "GEARED FOR KIDS; GREAT FOR ADULTS" and it's so true!!!

Your Shazak books and videos are a big hit in our house. Only problem is that we can't seem to get the kids to stop reading and watching them! They won't even come to the table to eat dessert! Any suggestions? (Shazak response: Try my wife’s delicious desert recipe (info@shazak.com). There’s a remote possibility that will work. No guarantee, though.)

Shazak Parsha is absolutely fantastic! My six-year-old son literally will watch and listen to it for an HOUR or more at a time, and then beg for more. “Mommy- can I study Torah?” Truth be told, I love listening too.

Kudos to the entire Shazak team! It’s clear to me that you have invested hundreds, rather, thousands of hours into researching and simplifying the message from the weekly Parsha. Congratulations for streamlining the various storylines of the Parsha into bite-size, understandable pieces. Go Shazak! BTW: What does Shazak mean?

Just love the Miracle Lights book! I read it aloud on a long drive home to my husband and children, and we all could not stop laughing. The story was engaging, informative, accurate, and humorous! A rare find in our days! BTW: My fourth-grade classes absolutely loved the Miracle Lights video!

Mrs. Shira Boshnack

Our students have never had so much fun learning Parsha. As soon as I turn on Shazak, the room goes quiet, and I know that we are in for a super learning experience, peppered by lots of laughs.

Shazak Parsha Junior is fantastic! My children love it although English is not their mother tongue. That’s because the Parsha is clearly and playfully explained. At the same time, they also learn English and some Hebrew words. Kol HaKavod to the Shazak team! They deserve our great thanks and recognition!

Dr. Peter Feldmar

We just discovered Shazak Parsha Junior and we love it! My younger bunch (5 and down) are going through it again and again and really gaining mastery of the parsha! Thank you!

Shazak Junior E-Books is amazing! My 3 year old son is obsessed with it!

Our son didn't want to go to school because of the Queen of Persia. He just wants to stay home, read the book and watch the cartoon. Thanks Shazak… He's learning so much!

Mr. and Mrs. Levy

My own children are absolutely addicted to the Queen of Persia book and DVD. Now they know the entire Megillah by heart with all the MIdrashim that you skillfully weave into the Purim story.

Our kids are constantly asking to watch Shazak! While we try to limit tablet time and apps as much as possible, I am thrilled that the app they request more than any other is the Torah-based Shazak! If the Torah is meant to be sweet, Shazak tapped into the secret recipe!

Mr. and Mrs.Sheinberger

Happy Parents

Shazak helps people learn on every level. My younger brothers love it and even my dad learns things that he did not know! I also love how Shazak makes some parts very funny.

Miracle Lights! Super! 3.5 Stars… Make it 3.9 stars! Out of Egypt! Wow! 4 Stars… Make it 5 stars! Queen of Persia! Splendiferous! 5 Stars… Make it 6 stars! Bottom line... Shazak is high quality, educational material that is fun for children and adults. It is worth every penny. BTW: How many stars could I go up to?

Mr. and Mrs. Irving Shazakowitz

Flipakachoocha, Shazakville

Our kids pour over the high, quality Shazak colored pages together calling out the names of the characters. They are just soaking it all up. Truth be told, I don’t know who enjoys it more… us or the kids?

Mr. Simcha Wait

Happy (Simcha) Dad

I just screened Miracle Lights and I can’t begin to tell you how immensely I enjoyed watching – especially the self-promotion of "Queen of Persia"... brilliant! Wonderful! Hashem has given you a gift…and I wish Shazak good fortune with all your amazing Shazak materials.

Mr. Phil Weintraub

Good Friend A"H

My eight-year-old and I both enjoyed the Chanukah Lights DVD immensely! It is so funny and entertaining, while also so educational! Queen of Persia has been a hit for us, too. I can't wait to see your next release!!! Thank you for adding color to the Jewish world!

Mrs. Sari Steinberg

I wanted to shout out a big THANKS for The Queen of Persia, which our whole family enjoys soooo much! Shazak did an incredible job and your educational content is perfectly true to the story (something very rare to find). Mazel Tov on this incredible journey of yours!

Shalom. The name is Shlomo son of Ytizchak.. I am so, so... how you say in English? EXCITED... that Shazak is using my Rashi explanation on the Chumash. Well, good luck with your learning Torah! BTW: What's Shazak.

I just KNEW this one would turn out great! This bitter-sweet tale of slavery and redemption is the perfect gift! I especially enjoy Out of Egypt while practicing my tambourine.

Don’t believe a word of Shazak’s OUT OF EGYPT book! It’s all made up, I just wanted to give the Jews an opportunity to make an honest living, and they dared to have complained about my kindness to their HaShem. What a heartache! Call a doctor now! You hear me?!

I foresee this Out of Egypt becoming an out-of-this-world success. The creators are stars, the cast is brilliant, and its future is bright!

Out of Egypt is a tale of a little boy, my boy, who was destined to take out our nation OUT OF EGYPT! I get sooooo emotional every time I read how I almost lost my beloved Moshe in the Nile River. Thank you HaShem!

Those wishing to learn how to recreate the magic tricks described in Out of Egypt are hereby forewarned: We take no responsibility for any snake bites, leprosy, frog infestations, or lost sticks. We repeat: Do not try this at home!
