The Canisius College Video Institute production of the September episode of Kaleidoscope is now airing on Time Warner Cable. This 30-minute television program celebrates the religious diversity of our region, and represents a collaboration between the Video Institute and the Network of Religious Communities. Kaleidoscope is re-broadcast each Friday at 6:35 p.m. on Time Warner Cable 20.
This episode features a story about the essential role Hospital Chaplains play in the medical world. Several ECMC Chaplains — who are on call 24/7 assisting patients, families, and hospital staff — tell their incredible stories. The episode also includes a conversation between Rabbi Perry Netter of Temple Beth Tzedek and Rabbi Gary Pokras, Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Zion, as they discuss the Jewish Holidays of Fall.
