These classroom magazines bring familiar, favorite characters to your early childhood program and help young children discover the joys of their Jewish heritage with enticing lessons based on the brand-new DVD episodes of Shalom Sesame.

In The Sticky Shofar, listen to the sound of the shofar with Grover, taste apples or challah dipped in honey, and discover the value of saying "sorry" with Avigail. Visit the city of Yaffo, and learn the meaning of Shanah Tovah. This classroom magazine introduces children to both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Each four-page Shalom Sesame Classroom Magazine provides content-rich photographs, developmentally-appropriate text, playful Shalom Sesame characters, and thought-provoking questions and activities designed to engage children and build Jewish identity.

Shalom Sesame, first released on video in 1988, was re-launched in 2010 with all new DVD episodes aimed at promoting greater understanding of Jewish traditions and identity, and building familiarity with the people and places of Israel.

Whether your goal is to spark interest in a specific topic for 2 minutes, or to be immersed in the sights and sounds of Israel for 20 minutes, you can use the Shalom Sesame episodes in your classroom as much or as little as you choose.

• Multidisciplinary approach integrates Judaic subjects with art, music, drama, and creative thinking activities.
