The Voice of Yiddish Calgary: 10 episodes
This program was originally broadcast in 1994 by Rogers Cable, who have graciously given us permission to post it to our website. This local Yiddish television program was hosted by Aron Eichler z”l and features both fondly remembered and current friends of JHSSA among the many interesting guests. The program was produced, directed and edited by Martin Mitchnick, Calgary Jewish Centre, Colleen Kerr and Rogers Cable Calgary.

One technical note: we have posted these videos as transferred from video cassette, so they include varying amounts of time between episodes, SMPTE colour bar test patterns, and a countdown before each episode.
