United Synagogue TV – What will you be watching?

The United Synagogue is launching a streaming service for Jewish programming with the aim of creating “an enduring shift in the way the US produces content and engages with its members”.

US communications director Richard Verber said The US.TV would feature content produced by the organisation during lockdown, such as Rabbi Steady Cook! with comedian Ashley Blaker and interviews with public figures including former Prime Minister Tony Blair, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

There will also be a selection of Jewish learning broadcasts and live-streamed services.

The idea for the channel came about at the start of the year. Work on the website began in earnest in April, the pandemic having “forced us to reimagine what synagogue looks like”, Mr Verber explained.
