The Shtick reaches 770 episode milestone
Greener told The AJN, “Being the face of the Jewish community in the media, The Shtick attempts to showcase the best personalities, cultural and religious events, and to profile our organisations and their leadership.”
Since its inception in 2004, The Shtick has held the distinction of being the only Jewish TV program in Australia. Broadcasting a weekly half-hour episode on Community C31 TV, the show offers an array of Jewish content, highlighting personalities, cultural events and organisational profiles within the community’s diverse fabric.
Henry Greener, the producer and presenter of The Shtick, tackles political, religious and cultural subjects, ensuring inclusive coverage of various opinions. With an unbiased approach, Greener conducts interviews with a wide range of guests.
Greener told The AJN, “Being the face of the Jewish community in the media, The Shtick attempts to showcase the best personalities, cultural and religious events, and to profile our organisations and their leadership.”
With an extensive online presence, The Shtick has uploaded over 2500 videos to YouTube since 2006. Viewers can access the show’s episodes on any device through the video archive on the website www.theshtick.tv.
“By sheer coincidence, this week as The Shtick clocks up its 770th episode, ending 73 seasons on C31, it happens that Rabbi Israel Meir Lau will be in Melbourne to speak at a special community event at Chabad House of Caulfield-770,” Greener said.
“This will be the main topic of show 770, including an interview with Rabbi Laibl Wolf on the outreach work of the Shluchim sent to all corners of the world by the Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, who established 770 East Parkway in Crown Heights as the epicentre of the Chasidic movement.”
During the upcoming winter break, Greener and editor and videographer Amit Rehak will take a well-deserved hiatus. Production will resume for season 74, setting a new record for the longest-running TV show in Australia, as the High Holy Days approach.
