Mama Doni Leads Team in "Mission Immatzoble"

The first seder is only two weeks away and the Passover music videos are starting to show up. Here's a new one called "Mission Immatzoble" by Mama Doni and her crew of kids and puppets.

The mission (if you choose to accept it): Find Kosher for Passover food at the Streits matzo factory and at the supermarket.

The kids and the puppets show that they're up to the challenge as they dash through the matzo factory and the supermarket, picking up boxes as they fill up their shopping carts with matzot and head for home, tired but successful in their quest.

Mama Doni, a.k.a. Doni Zasloff Thomas, is a mom, educator, performer, songwriter, and lead singer in The Mama Doni Band, winner of the 2008 Simcha Award for “Inspiring Joy Through Music,” in competition with more than 100 bands from 15 different countries at the International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam, Holland. She was invited back to Amsterdam the next year in 2009 to perform a concert and conduct a workshop.

Immersed in Jewish life and music since childhood, Doni grew up in the Washington DC area, attending The Hebrew Day Institute and The Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School. She then moved to Philadelphia and finished high school at Akiba Academy. She attended Camp Ramah, Camp Judea, Camp Moshava, and Camp Bnai Brith where she was drama/dance counselor. 

Through highschool she was a Bar/Bat Mitzvah tutor and Hebrew School teacher, she then went to Brandeis University and NYU, where she earned a degree in Educational Theatre and Performing Arts. Pursuing a career in children's media and marketing, Doni was creative director for an award winning, pioneering children's media company for more than seven years.
