ChaiFlicks Launches First Original Series ‘Schmoozing And Cruising’

ChaiFlicks, a streaming platform for Jewish storytelling, is set to launch its first original series, Schmoozing and Cruising, on Nov. 16.

The half-hour unscripted series explores innovative Kosher restaurants and food establishments (including food trucks and delivery services) across the U.S. and features a different theme with each episode, including Kosher BBQ, pizza, donuts and even Chinese food.

ChaiFlicks has ordered an initial six episodes of Schmoozing and Cruising, which includes stops in Brooklyn, Cleveland, Chicago, Los Angeles and numerous other American cities. Schmoozing and Cruising is hosted by CW (Chaim) Silverberg (Tripping Kosher) and produced by Kosher Style Media. Tsvika Tal is the show’s executive producer.

ChaiFlicks, which launched in August 2020, has more than 1,800 hours of films, television series, documentaries and short films. Available on every major streaming device, ChaiFlicks is now streaming in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

ChaiFlicks Co-Founder Bill Weiner said: “We are thrilled to be launching our first-ever original series, Schmoozing and Cruising, which we believe is the perfect series to further connect our global audience to Jewish culture. This fresh and entertaining trip across the U.S. highlighting some of the best Kosher foods and restaurants complements our nearly 2,000 hours of the best Jewish films, scripted content and documentary series.”

Schmoozing and Cruising is based on Kosher Style Media’s YouTube series Tripping Kosher, which is also hosted by Silverberg. Before putting his face in front of the camera, Silverberg spent more than a decade working behind the scenes in the Kosher food business, establishing his know-how and understanding of the industry.
