More Snow

The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.

We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute.

The Jewish Heritage Project

- September 26, 2008

Berkshire South Regional Community Center in Great Barrington, in collaboration with CTSB TV, is presenting The Jewish Heritage Project, a unique opportunity for the elders and youth in our communities. It is an oral history storytelling in which the elders have the opportunity to share events, experiences, insights, perspectives, and their personal history. Our own storytellers relay to the next generations their experiences and memories, giving us a glance into a time period that once was.

CTSBTV, our local TV station has offered a most extraordinary opportunity for the community youth to interview and film our elders, continuing the age-old tradition of storytelling. CTSB’s Public Channel 16 is currently airing the five-part series of the Jewish Heritage Project in the towns of Great Barrington, Lee, Lenox, Sheffield and Stockbridge.

PCTV, in the spirit of community, will broaden the scope of viewers by also airing the Jewish Heritage Project on its Public Channel 16, on time Warner Cable in the towns of Pittsfield, Dalton, and Richmond.

Each show will air for one week. The first show is scheduled to start on Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 3 pm and 9 pm; week 2 will begin on Thursday, October 23, at 3 pm and 9 pm; the third show will start on Thursday October 30; the fourth segment will air on Friday, November 6 at 8 am; and the fifth show will air on November 13 at 8 am. Each show is approximately 30 minutes.

The first four shows are hosted by Arielle Sebestyen who will be interviewing Karl Lipsky, Micky Beller, Stanley Marcus and Rebecca Marcus. The final show is hosted by Ilya Yantovsky who will be interviewing Isaac Kutik, his great-grandfather. Ilya also serves as the voiceover for Isaac who speaks Russian.  Jake Elitzer serves as the Announcer for the Jewish Heritage Project.
