Jewish show launched on Ukranian TV
The first episode of the program will be dedicated to the Lubavitcher Rebbe
The first episode of a new Jewish program entitled “613” will be broadcast on the First National TV Channel of Ukraine Thursday.
It is no coincidence that the launch of this TV project falls on the third of Tamuz, observed among Jews across the world as the Rebbe’s Day.
The first episode of the program will be dedicated to the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The program will profile the Rebbe’s life and the basic concepts of his study.
The program will feature President of FJC CIS Lev Leviev, Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Azriel Chaikin and Head of the Board of FJC Ukraine Rabbi Meir Stambler, Chief Rabbis of Nikolayev and Dnepropetrovsk and specialists in Jewish philosophy.
According to programming director Oleg Rostovtsev, it was the matter of a significant importance for the Jewish community to begin this series TV broadcasts aimed at an average Ukrainian viewer profiling the history, culture and traditions of the Jewish people with a narration about the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
The next program will broadcast July 20th, and then the “613” program will be on TV every two weeks.
Every resident of Ukraine will be able to watch this program, since the First National Channel has the largest coverage on the territory of the country.
