Why I miss The Jewish Channel

It has been two weeks since my wife and I moved to Boston to begin our positions. We are in love with this city. The architecture is beautiful. The people are super friendly. The city has a real feeling of culture and history that permeates every aspect of this place. Yet, there is one thing missing: The Jewish Channel.

The Jewish Channel is a great on-demand TV network that runs on Time Warner, Cablevision and RCN amongst other providers. Anytime you want to watch a great Israeli film or curious what's the latest in the Jewish news, you can turn to The Jewish Channel and have that need satisfied. For example, one of the feature films now is "Jews and Buddhism: Belief Amended, Faith Revealed." How cool is that?

For some unknown reason though The Jewish Channel is not in Boston on Comcast. It needs to be. In the meantime I'll have to do with just watching the weekly (and shorter) online version of the week in review.
