Parpar Nechmad

Parpar Nechmad is a long-running Israeli children's television program, aimed mainly at pre-schoolers. The show premiered in January 1982 and ran until 2004. It was produced by the Israeli Educational Television, and to this day remains successful in re-runs on IETV's home network, Channel 23. The show was originally produced by Shoshana Tzachor. Its head writer was Datia Ben Dor, who provided scripts for most of the early shows, as well as lyrics and music to many of the featured songs. The puppets were all designed by Yehudit Grinshpan. The show's title refers to a then well-known nursery rhyme by Fania Bergstein.
