In Shalom Sesame, Welcome to Israel, we meet Anneliese, the character played by Anneliese van der Pol, a Jewish-American actress, who is on an airplane flying to Israel. After hearing Grover, cast as a flight attendant, shout out "Kosher meal! Aisle 10!," they strike up a friendship and decide to travel together throughout the country. Throughout the series the pair remain in Israel -- allowing children to see various landscapes, meet Israeli children and even learn a little Hebrew.
