4.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to the Aleph Bet, includes Hebrew Songs, May 1, 2005

By	Havah (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

The beauty of this video is not just in the engaging way that it teaches the letters of the aleph-bet (Hebrew alphabet) but in the inclusion of your favorite Sesame Street characters singing in Hebrew. Ernie and Bert do a Hebrew version of their famous skit where Ernie turns the alphabet into a story. The Count sings the numbers one through ten in Hebrew and Cookie Monster sings in Hebrew about healthy food. There are a number of cameos by actors and actresses from the late 80's interacting with the muppets. Kippy ben Kipod (the Israeli version of Big Bird, he is a porcupine) and Moshe Oofnik (the Israeli Oscar, he is a grouch) have prominent roles. I have only two complaints with this video, one is that there is no English captioning of the Hebrew songs (the assumption is that the viewers are not yet reading). The second is that most of the Hebrew songs are sung at the pace at which Israelis speak, which is far too quickly for those just learning Hebrew to follow. However, the songs do provide great entertainment value and do give the non-native Hebrew speaker a good sense of the flow of the language.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning your Aleph-bet, November 5, 2002

By A Customer

My son was a year old when I bought this video. He is now 19 months and has still not tired of it.
I myself have not tired of it. Sesame Street is a series that I grew up on and I am so pleased that my son is now able to learn the Hebrew Alep-bet with the same tried and tested series.
I would recomend this video to anyone who wants to teach their children the Aleph-bet. I myself am now buying other videos in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars we like it!, December 22, 2003

By	"irenalovesbooks" (Toronto, Ont) - See all my reviews

My son is going on three and has been watching this video, as well as others from the same series, since he was around one. He enjoys them! Althought the footage is rather dated (very 80's)the songs are fun. I plan on buying more from the same series.
