Sesame Street Passover: A Seder for Grover

Sesame Street for Passover? Yes, it’s true, with a lovely new book called A Seder for Grover.

According to the publisher: “Very young readers will be introduced to Passover traditions with friends from Sesame Street. Big Bird, Moishe Oofnik, and Avigail join their friend Grover to celebrate. Together they eat matzah, read from the Haggadah, and find the afikomen.”

Author Joni Sussman has created four other Sesame Street books with a Jewish theme and a Yiddish book for youngsters.

A Seder for Grover is part of the Shalom Sesame collection. The website has recipes, crafts, songs, videos, Educator Guides for parents, and a ton of other useful info.

I wish that fun stuff like this had existed when I was young. In so many ways, it’s easier now than ever to be Jewish and to raise Jewish children. No matter where you live, even in the most rural area, you can connect to the global Jewish community and find resources.
