Manchester Jewish primary launches weekly TV show to keep people connected
King David school will broadcast videos made and presented by its students in a bid to help the community stay in touch
A Jewish primary school in Manchester has launched a weekly TV show in an attempt to help the community stay in touch during lockdown.
KDTV, created by King David Primary School in Manchester, is a collection of episodes made and presented by the school’s children.
It will stream each week to the King David Manchester Community and shows what the pupils have been doing during their time away from school.
Episodes include pupils showing their pets, their musical talents, cooking skills, and fitness workouts. Each one is presented by children introducing the different clips.
Yaacov Goldin, who teachers at King David Primary School, says
“During this lockdown we felt it was so important to be able to still connect as a community and also give our children something to keep busy and help entertain others. Not seeing friends and not having the extracurricular activities that all our children love doing, we tapped into the talents that our children have! We know they love making videos, so why not put a “TV” show together. The series has proved so popular that it is possible that it could continue even after lockdown as we have enough material to last 6-8 weeks with even more being made all the time!! ”
You can access KDTV from the School website or the School Facebook Page! Thank you to

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
