Description

The next time someone says, Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? you'll be able to answer. In Hebrew. Bert and Ernie, Grover, Cookie Monster and Elmo are off on a magical tour of Israel. So grab hold of the nearest hand and come along for the fun! Thrill to the sounds of your Sesame Street pals as they speak Hebrew and English! And make new friends with Jerry Stiller as he explores the people, places, traditions, and culture of Israel. Shalom Sesame. Like a picture postcard that not only wishes you were here, it takes you right along! Show 9 ñ Aleph-Bet Telethon. The street signs have gone blank. The newspapers have no print. Can it be? Have the letters on Israel's Sesame Street all disappeared? Tune in for a terrific telethon when Jerry Stiller and Kippi ben Kippod, Israel's peppiest porcupine, try to raise all 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet! Watch Joan Rivers, Nell Carter, Jeremy Miller, Tracy Gold, and Itzhak Perlman as they call in special letter donations. Even Moishe Oofnik and his Sesame Street cousin, Oscar the Grouch, lend a handÖsort of. And don't touch that dial: there's down-to-the-wire suspense as everyone tries to find the last missing letter.
