Touch Away, A
If you thought smartly written, superbly acted television dramas only happen on HBO, think again: A Touch Away takes a slice of contemporary Tel Aviv life and spins out a marvelous multi-family drama. The series revolves around the forbidden love between a young Russian immigrant man and his neighbor, an Orthodox Jewish girl. Eight episodes screen over two days at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco.
