JWEEKLY CANADA
CONVO WITH AVRUM
One of my favorite interviews from the last 6 seasons was the one with Avrum Rosensweig. Since I was a young boy, I have always loved the art of spontaneous conversation. I was never one for notes, I would rather sit down with my guest, and let my instincts and natural curiosity lead the way. Avrum was so open, honest and self-effacing and it made for a delightful meeting. The conversation was very well received by our viewers and I believe it is fraught with universal messages that you will receive well also. Please enjoy this interview. (below)

BIOGRAPHY
Ieden Wall is a best-selling poet, comic, journalist, host and TV producer.
At 19, Wall was hired to be Rogers Community 10’s man-on-the-street reporter. Wall’s segment called Off the Wall became one of the most popular segments on the station’s youth magazine. He won 2 Ontario Cable Awards for his off-beat reporting.
​
In the late 90's Wall created, wrote and produced a reality/comedy web series called The Dream Chaser. The show was in development at FOX REALITY for 6 months but was not picked up. He did however produce a one-off TV Special with Mayor David Miller for SUNTV in Canada.
​
The Dream Chaser became Make a Wysh, another reality/comedy series created, hosted and produced by Wall. In 2001, Wall did a 12-week run at Second City's Tim Simms Playhouse,. His shows were a hybrid of his live stand-up material and screenings of The Dream Chaser and Make a Wysh. After attending one of his shows, Mark Breslin signed the comedian to a representation agreement and pitched MAKE A WYSH to a handful of Canadian broadcasters.
Wall's first book of poetry called The Wisdom of Wall sold over 30, 000 copies in its first printing and has been the recipient of numerous awards.
Wall produced a collection of poetry films from his book which aired on TV, in Canada, Australia and the UK.
Wall was a regular contributor to The Canadian Jewish News.
A lover of Kabbalah, Wall always makes time for learning and teaching alike.
His vision as a producer, coupled with his on-air charisma makes him one of Canada’s most dynamic media figures.
The former Program Director at CFRB 1010 Steve Kowch said, "Wall has an uncanny knack to get people to come on his show and reveal deep secrets and personal details. He is one of our country's great conversationalists."
​In 2019, Wall created Canadian Jewish TV, the first weekly Jewish program on OMNI TV in 30 years. In 2023, Wall rebranded Canadian Jewish TV as JWeekly Canada. The program attracts a cumulative weekly audience of 120K viewers, making it one of the most popular talk shows on Omni TV,
