Oscar the Grouch is Jewish...his grouch ancestors settled in Tel Aviv
One feature of Seasame street....was 10 men opening up their coats and displaying numbers 1 to 10.....in the Israel Versiona the numbers were in Hebrew....right to left of course.....
The Israeli version of Sesame Street was called רְחוֹב סֻמְסוּם | רחוב סומסום Rəḥôḇ Sumsūm.
Israelis generally say sumsum, but all of the dictionaries say shumshom (שֻׁמְשֹׁם | שומשום). I've only ever heard sumsum, though.
YouTube has some episodes or clips, if you'd like to see them.
