For those sports buffs wondering what the NBA players have been up to
during the lockout, be sure to catch New York Knicks Superstar Amar’e Stoudemire
discovering more about Jewish culture when he stopped by Sesame Street to teach Shalom Sesame fans the Hebrew word
“Tov”, which means “good.” Check
out Amar’e on the newly launched and redesigned Shalom
Sesame website and on Shalom Sesame’s YouTube
channel.
Shalomsesame.org has a new look and feel, brand new
videos, downloadable resources and a printables section for parents and kids to
experience Jewish learning together.
But there’s
more! Shalom Sesame’s 12-part DVD
series, brought to you by Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational
organization behind Sesame
Street, and Israel’s Channel HOP!, is great
for any occasion. Whether it be traveling to Israel, entering Hebrew school or
celebrating the holidays, this series is a great way to learn about the
diversity and vitality of Israeli life.
Shalom Sesame DVD’s, including the full series gift box set, are available
at sisu@sisuent.com
Be sure to
check your local PBS listings for special broadcasts of Shalom Sesame’s “Chanukah: The Missing
Menorah.” It’s time to celebrate
Chanukah in Israel and Grover is bringing the latkes! All is well until
Anneliese gets caught in a game of tag with a chicken and loses her special
menorah …right before sunset! Can her friends find the missing menorah in time?
Tune in to find out!
For young
readers this holiday season, Elmo finds out what a dreidel is as he celebrates
the first night of Chanukah with a friend's family in the board book, Elmo’s Little Dreidel, published by
Random House Children’s Books.
