History [edit]
Shalom TV was founded in 2003 and began telecasting three years later. In 2008, Comcast launched Shalom TV nationally. The network has since expanded to more than 20 video distributors throughout North America.
On December 7, 2012, Cablevision, (which was already carrying the Shalom TV's On-Demand programing) launched the Shalom TV Channel, making both services of the network avaialable to Cablevision's 3 million subscribers. [1]
Programming [edit]
Programs on Shalom TV reflect and address the diversity and pluralism of the Jewish experience. The Shalom TV Channel features daily newscasts from Israel, live late breaking stories and programs that enable viewers to call in and talk to guests and Friday evening services. News from Israel includes the IBA News. Additional programming includes public affairs events; American, Israeli and Yiddish films; roundtable discussion of issues facing the Jewish community worldwide; five Jewish Studies programs including the teaching of Hebrew and commentary on basic tenets of Judaism; children's programs; 92nd Street Y presentations; Israeli and American Jewish cultural shows; interviews with leading figures on the world Jewish stage and Israel travel documentaries. Shalom TV also produces High Holiday services and original series. An original series for Jewish singles is From Date to Mate, a mockumentary about the urban dating scene."The Wisdom of Ruth Westheimer" is a new original television series produced by and airing on Shalom TV. The show features Ruth Westheimer, a famous sex therapist, media personality, and author, and is scheduled to air sometime in 2013.
Viewers [edit]
Shalom TV is directed towards every Jewish person with a sense of Jewish identity, and for members of the Jewish community seeking their roots. However, Shalom TV is not intended exclusively for people of the Jewish religion. Televised offerings are also for anybody with a passion for learning and a desire to gain a greater understanding of Jewish tradition, Jewish life, and the land of Israel.

The executive staff consists of Rabbi Mark S. Golub (President and CEO), Bradford N. Hammer (Chief Operating Officer), David Brugnone (Chief Marketing Officer), Edith Samers (Vice President of Marketing), Dr. Evgueni Lvov (Vice President of Operations), Alan E. Oirich (Director of Production), and Jan Weiss (Executive Assistant).
