WATCH AN ESRAVISION FILM ON youtube

Rationale: To provide English speakers living in Israel access to programs on community services, people of interest, esra news, events and current affairs, in the English language.

esravision is the highly innovative, popular, and informative Community TV program shown regularly throughout Israel (for schedules see below). Its objective is to produce TV programs in English which will broaden and extend the knowledge of English speakers about esra's activities and many other aspects of life in Israel and help them to become more active in the civic, social, and cultural life of the State.

OPERATION

esra volunteers are trained to do Community TV program production (a series of workshops took place in May/June 2007), and funds are raised for the purchase of equipment and supplies, and for the cost of production of the films. 
esravision programs are broadcast in English throughout Israel by the cable and satellite TV providers: HOT and YES, and recently throughout the Middle East via METV.
esravision programs give viewers an general picture of life in Israel as well as articles on esra's specific projects such as learning centers for disadvantaged children, computer centers for adult immigrants, nearly-new shops, and others.
These programs, although aimed at the English speaking population, also attract immigrants from non-English speaking countries such as the Former Soviet Union, Ethiopia, and India, as well as veteran Hebrew-speaking Israelis.
esravision programs include details of esra's social and cultural events taking place during the current month.

ESRAVISION PROGRAMS
esravision programs developed by esra volunteers include the following categories - Community projects, Arts (Music, Dance, Theater), esra projects, Sports, Profiles of Personalities, Books & Authors, Hobbies/Leisure, Professions, Miscellaneous, Health and Businesses. 
Programs change every four weeks.
