Fresh off the Oscars buzz, Shalom Sesame has a very special Passover video a la Les Misérables, named, of course, Les Matzarables! Join the characters as they search high and low for a very special piece of matzah, the afikomen. Bonus: these muppets may just have better voices than Russell Crowe. Enjoy!

Our friends at Shalom Sesame have done it again! Gearing up for Purim, they’ve just released a new video, and this one stars actress and comedian Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live, Bridesmaids, Up All Night). Cookie Monster also makes a special appearance, and you just might be able to guess what kind of cookie he’s eating. Check it out below.
