The Marvelous Midos Machine

The Marvelous Midos Machine is a series of Orthodox Jewish children's audiotapes by Abie Rotenberg and Moshe Yess. The series follows the science fiction adventures of rabbi-scientist Dr. Midos, who teaches Jewish values like Torah study, respect for the elderly, and the avoidance of sinas ḥinom (baseless hatred).

Dr. Midos gets a "Midos Alert" in his studio where he sees a scenario where kids are acting improperly, such as not speaking the truth, or acting selfish- to which he then from his studio plays them a song talking about that value. After hearing the song, the kids then learn they were wrong and try to be better. Until today, the albums are still being played in Orthodox Jewish preschools and homes teaching the children how to be better people.
