CLOSED: Shalom Sesame- DVDs 1 & 2 (+Giveaway)

Israel is one place I'd love to visit and each time we read a story from the Bible, our desire to visit only builds up. Bunny girl has always asked so many questions about Israel that it only seemed fitting to introduce her to the place through the eyes of furry, wacky but lovable Grover from Sesame Street and his bubbly new buddy, celebrity presenter, Anneliese van der Pol.

Shalom Sesame is a twelve episode collection that will introduce the young viewer to the land of Israel, the rich Jewish culture, Hebrew letters, historic sites and beautiful traditions.

In Shalom Sesame dvd: Welcome to Israel Grover and Anneliese visit Israel, meet new friends and yes, even encounter flying falafels! (Which, if you haven't tried before, is a patty made from chickpeas and/or fava beans. I have to add that it is delicious with some hummus and pita bread...Mmmm!) while in Chanukah-The Missing Menorah, Anneliese encounters a problem. While playing tag with her chicken she loses her Menorah. (A Menorah has 9 branches and this is to celebrate the 8 days of Chanukah and the 9th is the Shamash, used to light the other eight candles.) All worry breaks loose as Chanukah is soon to begin. Grover is enlisted to help find the missing Menorah and the adventure begins!

I can't wait to view the other 10 releases next year. Trust Sesame Street to bring out another educative and unique collection. I hope this is only the beginning of more Countries and Cultures to come.


Note: Each October 5 2010 release from SISU Home Entertainment and Sesame Workshop has an approximate run time of 30 minutes and also includes bonus features like Grover's music videos and a peek into all 12 'Shalom Sesame' episodes.

Visit the Shalom Sesame website for more information and fun activities.
