     Shalom Sesame Street – Shalom Rechov Sumsum
    רחוב שומשום שלום

    Shalom Sesame is a co-production between Sesame Street and its Israeli counterpart, Rechov Sumsum. The series was conceived as an attempt to bring Israeli life and Jewish culture to American audiences… and was targeted at an older age group than either Rechov Sumsum or Sesame Street, approximately 6 to 12.* Filmed in Israel, this series was broadcast on American television in the late 1980’s to 1990.

On Rechov Sumsum we meet Kippi Ben Kippod, a big porcupine and a counter part to Big Bird,Moishe Oofnik, a cousin of Oscar the Grouch, Benz, Bert, Arik, Ernie, Kermit Tzefarde, Kermit the Frog, and of course Barvazoni, Rubber Duckie.
