<title>Episode #1283: Earth, Wind, and Fire</title>

<description>
When you hear the words “adama,” “ru’ach,” and “eish,” what Hebrew songs come to mind? This year, our August Chagigot spilled into September, as we concluded the series - and the Jewish year - with a collection of Israeli songs about earth, wind, and fire...apparently, all topics Israelis like to sing about! For our last show of 5786, we become one with nature through song - sending you into the new Jewish year with an hour that’s down to earth, full of fresh air, and on fire! Shana Tova from Israel Hour Radio! (Original Air Date: September 6, 2026)

<title>Episode #1282: Don't Take It Seriously</title>

<description>
Our August Chagigot continue with an hour that doesn't take itself too seriously! "Chagigat Shirei Shtuyot" is a celebration of the dumb, wacky, funny, irreverent, and downright silly side of Israeli music, and it turns out there's no shortage of material. Expect songs that will make you laugh, maybe cringe, and sing along despite yourself, with utterly ridiculous lyrics that somehow became classics. Who said Israelis don't have a sense of humor? From Eurovision favorites to Kaveret absurdities, and everything in between, all of them prove that Israeli music can be just as goofy as it is heartfelt. Turn it up and get ready to laugh while singing along! (Original Air Date: August 30, 2026)

<title>Episode #1281: Somebody's Getting Married</title>

<description>
Week three of our August Chagigot is a personal one. Today we're playing "Chagigat Shirei Chatuna" - an hour of Israeli wedding songs - and there's a reason this one hits close to home: Josh's daughter got married the very next day! That's right, this episode was recorded the night before her wedding, so you can imagine the mood in the studio. In honor of the occasion, we're playing an hour of the best Israeli songs about weddings and celebration. We also asked our listeners for their most interesting - and sometimes craziest - stories from Israeli weddings they've attended, including a few genuine wedding horror stories! Some great responses came in from our Facebook Live audience, and if you're listening to the podcast and have your own story to share, call or text our WhatsApp hotline at 732-844-9778 - we'd love to hear it! Mazal tov to the happy couple, and enjoy the music! (Original Air Date: August 23, 2026)

<title>Episode #1280: Your New Favorite Singer</title>

<description>
Week two of our August Chagigot is here, and this time we're doing something a little different. Every single day, my inbox fills up with emails about new releases from Israeli artists I've never heard of - and more often than not, they never make it onto the show. So this week, we're fixing that with 'Chagigat Omanim Pachot Mefursamim' - a celebration of less famous Israeli artists! We asked YOU, our listeners, to help us find the names that deserve more attention, and today we're playing an hour of music by artists who aren't exactly on our radar screen...but probably should be. Get ready to discover your new favorite Israeli artist - one you've probably never heard of before today! (Original Air Date: August 9, 2026)

<title>Episode #1279: Hugs and Kisses</title>

<description>
It's time for our annual August Chagigot - four straight weeks of shows where we take one topic and dig up every great Israeli song we can find about it! This week we're kicking things off with 'Chagigat Shirei Chibukim V'neshikot' - a celebration of songs about hugs and kisses - in honor of Tu B'Av, the Jewish holiday of love, which just took place last week. For the next hour, we're playing nothing but songs that talk about hugging and kissing...because is there any topic more fitting for a holiday all about love? Get ready for an hour that's equal parts sweet, romantic, and maybe a little bit cheesy - just the way we like it! (Original Air Date: August 2, 2026)

<title>Episode #1278: From Sorrow To Joy</title>

<description>
We've just completed a very interesting time on the Jewish calendar. Tisha B'av - the saddest day of the Jewish year, in which we mourn the many tragedies that have befallen our people throughout the ages - was observed last week. It was followed by Shabbat Nachamu, the Shabbat of comfort and consolation, where we remember that, no matter how low we've sunk, we always bounce back to greatness. On today's Israel Hour Radio, we share songs that came from our most recent national tragedy, echoing BOTH sentiments: songs of sadness and tragedy...and songs of strength and optimism...all released in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. We have a feeling you'll be inspired by ALL. (Original Air Date: July 26, 2026)

<title>Episode #1277: Voices Behind 'Da Voice'</title>

<description>
Season 6 of Israel's ‘The Voice’ - or as it's known here, ‘Da Voice’ (yes, really) - just kicked off last week, and we figured there's no better time to look back at just how many of Israel's biggest musical stars got their start on that stage! Today's show is a celebration of ‘Voice’ alumni and the mentors who helped shape them along the way. You'll hear from breakout artists like Benaia Barabi, Yuval Dayan, Elkana Marciano, Sapir Saban, and others - all of whom turned a singing competition into full-blown music careers. And since this year's mentor panel includes some serious star power - Idan Raichel, Eden Ben Zaken, Noa Kirel, and Static - we're also spotlighting some of their biggest (and newest) hits too! Turns out reality TV and Israeli music have a longer, richer relationship than you might think. Turn it up and get to know the voices behind ‘Da Voice’! (Original Air Date: July 12, 2026)

<author>info@israelhour.com (Josh Shron)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>Season 6 of Israel's ‘The Voice’ - or as it's known here, ‘Da Voice’ (yes, really) - just kicked off last week, and we figured there's no better time to look back at just how many of Israel's biggest musical stars got their start on that stage! Today's show is a celebration of ‘Voice’ alumni and the mentors who helped shape them along the way. You'll hear from breakout artists like Benaia Barabi, Yuval Dayan, Elkana Marciano, Sapir Saban, and others - all of whom turned a singing competition into full-blown music careers. And since this year's mentor panel includes some serious star power - Idan Raichel, Eden Ben Zaken, Noa Kirel, and Static - we're also spotlighting some of their biggest (and newest) hits too! Turns out reality TV and Israeli music have a longer, richer relationship than you might think. Turn it up and get to know the voices behind ‘Da Voice’!

<title>Episode #1276: America Turns 250 - In Hebrew</title>

<description>
This July 4th, America turned 250 years old...and on Israel Hour Radio, we celebrated the only way we know how: with music! But not just any music - today's show is a full hour of your favorite English-language classics, translated and sung entirely in Hebrew. Turns out Israeli singers have been covering American hits for decades, and the results are somewhere between hilarious and beautiful. You'll hear Hebrew versions of "Stand By Your Man," "The Boxer," "Country Road," "What a Wonderful World," and a bunch of surprises you will NOT see coming. Some of these covers are so good you'll forget the original was ever in English! Happy birthday, America - this one's for you. (Original Air Date: July 5, 2026)

<description>
Last week on Israel Hour Radio, we brought you the most popular Israeli songs of 2020, that crazy year in which the entire world shut down. But after the show, we realized that there were SO many more songs we didn't include - but should have. Throughout the pandemic, Israel's musical community kept us entertained, comforted, and inspired, over and over again. So this week, we present part 2 of our look back at the amazing Israeli music of the Coronavirus era - and we can't wait to hear your memories too!  (Original Air Date: June 7, 2026)

<title>Episode #1268: Celebrating Our Musical Soldiers</title>

<description>
Not all soldiers fight on the battlefield. Since before the founding of the State of Israel, some men and women of the IDF served their country in various IDF Musical Ensembles, entertaining the troops and uplifting the country. Through the years, these talented groups created some of the most beloved Israeli classics of all time. Some sing of the beauty of the Land of Israel. Some mourn fallen Israeli soldiers throughout the years. Some preach optimism, looking forward towards more peaceful times ahead. Some are just plain fun. But ALL offer a glimpse into the miraculous history of the Jewish State, while entertaining and inspiring us all the way. This week (with help from Kan Gimmel Radio), we count down some of the most popular IDF Entertainment Troupe songs of all time. We have a feeling you'll be singing along with quite a few!

This week (with help from Kan Gimmel Radio), we count down some of the most popular IDF Entertainment Troupe songs of all time. We have a feeling you'll be singing along with quite a few!

<title>Episode #1266: We Remember Them</title>

<description>
Every year at this time, Israeli society takes a trip on an emotional roller coaster. On Yom HaShoah we make time to pay tribute to the victims - and survivors - of the Holocaust. A week later, on Yom HaZikaron, we remember those who lost their lives while fighting for our freedom and our survival. Then, the very next day, Independence Day, we celebrate like there's no tomorrow. If we don't remember the sacrifices made for the State of Israel, the thinking goes, how can we truly celebrate? So this week on Israel Hour Radio, we mourn: remembering victims of the Holocaust, soldiers killed in action, and victims of terror. Next week, we celebrate Israel's 78th birthday in style. Get ready for two weeks of special programming not to be missed! (Original Air Date: April 12, 2026)

<title>Episode #1265: Passover in Protected Spaces</title>

<description>
Why is this Passover different from all others? This year, as we ask that ancient question around the seder table, the answer feels closer than ever...because this year, we're celebrating Pesach in the middle of war. Israelis are running to shelters day and night, and yet somehow, we're still singing. This week, we share Passover songs old and new - many of them fresh, modern interpretations of our most ancient Passover traditions, from the Four Questions to the splitting of the sea. If there's one thing Judaism has always taught us, it's that even in the darkest of times, we SING. Chag Sameach! (Original Air Date: March 29, 2026)

<title>Episode #1263: New Israeli Music - March 2026</title>

<description>
In the midst of war and uncertainty, Israel's vibrant music scene continues to thrive. So what are Israelis listening to RIGHT NOW? Even as the war with Iran rages on, the songs topping the Israeli charts aren't battle hymns — they're the same catchy, feel-good tunes that were popular before the fighting began. Sometimes the most powerful statement a people can make is simply to keep dancing! We're also thrilled to unveil Israel's official entry for Eurovision 2026 — "Michelle" by Noam Bittan - and we'd love to know what you think of it! Tune in for the sounds keeping Israeli spirits high during one of the most challenging periods in the country's history. (Original Air Date: March 15, 2026)

<title>Episode #1262: Girls Rule!</title>

<description>
With the Iran war still very much on our minds, International Women's Day takes on a special significance in Israel. From the brave women of the IDF, to the women left behind by the men of the IDF, the roles of Israel's women are more important than ever. We salute them every year on International Women's Day, but this year, we are especially grateful for the way women have kept us safe and sane throughout some very difficult situations. In their honor, we share an hour of powerful Israeli music for women, by women, about women. If you need a boost of inspiration during this difficult time, or you're looking for just the right words to say in Hebrew to someone you care about, you're going to love this playlist!

<title>Episode #1261: A Purim Unlike Any Other</title>

<description>
Why is this Purim different from all others? The day before this podcast was recorded, Israel attacked Iran, and 'Operation Lion's Roar' began. While we're all extremely optimistic about what the Middle East might look like as a result of this war, Israelis are extremely tense - and tired - in the meantime. We've been running in and out of shelters ever since the war began, and we've been disturbed at all hours of the day and night by warnings, sirens, and incoming missiles. The warnings we get from our phones, however, are incredibly jarring. Wouldn't it be great if we could change the sound to an appropriate Israeli song? And if we could, which song would we choose? A recent Kan Gimmel post asked that very question, and this week, we're playing some of our favorite suggestions. With wishes for peace and security, we proudly share this very patriotic playlist!

<author>info@israelhour.com (Josh Shron)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>Why is this Purim different from all others? The day before this podcast was recorded, Israel attacked Iran, and 'Operation Lion's Roar' began. While we're all extremely optimistic about what the Middle East might look like as a result of this war, Israelis are extremely tense - and tired - in the meantime. We've been running in and out of shelters ever since the war began, and we've been disturbed at all hours of the day and night by warnings, sirens, and incoming missiles. The warnings we get from our phones, however, are incredibly jarring. Wouldn't it be great if we could change the sound to an appropriate Israeli song? And if we could, which song would we choose? A recent Kan Gimmel post asked that very question, and this week, we're playing some of our favorite suggestions. With wishes for peace and security, we proudly share this very patriotic playlist!

<title>Episode #1260: Cohen, Levy, Israel</title>

<description>
In ancient times, Kohanim (priests) and Levi'im (Levites) were responsible for most of the holy work in the Temple in Jerusalem. While their role is now significantly diminished in Jewish life, today's Kohanim and Levites continue to trace their lineage all the way back to Aaron in the Bible. So if you know anyone named Cohen or Levy, they're probably connected to that lineage. It just so happens that some of Israeli music's most recognizable names are members of those tribes - and just for fun, we thought we'd share music by the Cohens and Levys of Israel. And if you're not a Kohen or Levite? Well, then, you're just a plain-old Israelite. We've got you covered there, too - with music by people named 'Israel.'   (Original Air Date: February 22, 2026)

<title>Episode #1258: Remembering Matti Caspi</title>

<description>
On Sunday, February 8, 2026, the Israeli music world lost Matti Caspi - one of the most significant, influential Israeli singer/songwriters of all time. Matti passed away at 76 years old following a long battle with cancer, leaving behind a treasure trove of some of Israel most beloved musical classics. We couldn't possibly do justice to Matti's amazing career in one hour, but we'll do our best to play some of his most beloved songs - many sung by Matti himself, and many sung by other Israeli superstars. No doubt Matti Caspi's musical legacy will be felt in Israel and around the world for decades to come. May his memory be a blessing. (Original Air Date: February 8, 2026)

<description>
On Shabbat, January 3, 2026, the Shron family was privileged to celebrate the Bar Mitzvah of our youngest son, Tobey. He completely blew us away with his knowledge, skill, and confidence, and his parents are still bursting with pride weeks later. Against that backdrop this week, Josh couldn't help but share songs about children and childhood, along with the blessings that all parents wish for their children. With what hopes and dreams do you bless your children? What kind of life do you envision for them? If you're wishing for it, Israel's artists have probably already sang about it.

<title>Episode #1249: What Freedom Sounds Like</title>

<description>
What Israeli songs did the hostages ask to hear after their release from two years of captivity? What songs ran through their minds day after day, during their long and painful ordeal? Now that our living hostages are finally home, we've learned a bit more about their experiences: the torture and starvation, yes, but also the songs that gave them strength for more than two years. We shared a few of these songs on a previous show, but thanks to the folks at Kan Gimmel radio, we now have even more information, more firsthand stories, and more significant music. You may never be able to hear these songs in quite the same way again. (Original Air Date: November 9, 2025)

<title>Episode #1248: New Israeli Music - October 2025</title>

<description>
Israel is breathing just a little easier nowadays, and our thriving music industry doesn't miss a beat. The songs on the radio don't ignore the harsh realities of the past two years, but they certainly aren't harping on them either. So, you may ask, what are Israelis listening to, now that war is (sort of) taking a back seat? We got you. This week on Israel Hour Radio, Josh shares the most-played songs on Israeli radio stations nationwide over the past week, featuring several artists never before heard on our show. We're proud to keep you up to date on the latest and greatest in Israeli music! (Original Air Date: October 26, 2025)

<title>Episode #1247: Musical Tales of Survival</title>

<description>
THEY'RE HOME. Words we've been waiting to write for more than two years. While of course we know we won't be complete until all of the bodies held by Hamas are back home in Israel, we are breathing easier this week than we've been in a LONG time. Now that our living hostages are reunited with their families, we're beginning to learn the unimaginable details of their captivity. But we're also learning about how they managed to hold on to hope, stay strong, and survive - and for many, MUSIC played a large role. This week on Israel Hour Radio, we share the stories - and the songs - of our heroes. With much gratitude, we're so pleased to share this very emotional episode.

<title>Episode #1246: Waiting For The BEST News</title>

<description>
By the time you hear this podcast, you already know that on October 13, 2025, all living hostages held by Hamas were returned to their families in Israel. But when we recorded this podcast the evening before, we still weren't sure if the deal would hold. Sure, we were optimistic...but couldn't exhale until everyone was safely back home. Under that backdrop, we shared songs of homecoming, hope, optimism, and the promise of a better tomorrow - songs that are even more relevant now that we know THEY'RE FREE. It's hard to believe that our national nightmare is over (though we still pray for the return of 19 murdered hostages), but it is glorious to know that our country can begin to heal from two long, difficult, painful years of war and trauma.

Under that backdrop, we shared songs of homecoming, hope, optimism, and the promise of a better tomorrow - songs that are even more relevant now that we know THEY'RE FREE. It's hard to believe that our national nightmare is over (though we still pray for the return of 19 murdered hostages), but it is glorious to know that our country can begin to heal from two long, difficult, painful years of war and trauma. (Original Air Date: October 12, 2025)

<title>Episode #1245: Two Years</title>

<description>
This week, we observe a excruciating anniversary - two years since the October 7 massacre. Two years of war. Two years of hostages. Two years of heartbreak. BUT - a ray of light is possibly on the horizon, as peace talks were set to begin in Egypt to end the war and free the hostages. While we watch, wait, and hope, we reflect on the emotions of the past two years. From devastation to jubilation...Israelis have experienced it all over the past two years, and it all came alive in some very meaningful Israeli songs. You'll hear some of the most meaningful Israeli music of the past two years, including some brand new songs, recorded specifically for this difficult milestone. Praying for better days ahead.

<title>Episode #1244: 5785 - The Year In Israeli Music</title>

<description>
Shana Tova from Israel Hour Radio! For our first broadcast of 5786, we continue a long-standing tradition of counting down the most popular songs of the previous year. And in a year full of war, hostages, and stress...most of the songs are surprisingly NOT related to any of those things. Instead, they are ordinary, run of the mill, 'vanilla' songs that, perhaps, were meant to take our minds off of the tense situation in and around Israel. What songs were voted best in 5785? What Israeli songs were YOUR favorites over the course of the year? Take a walk down memory lane with us, and explore the past year in Israeli music! (Original Air Date: September 28, 2025)

<title>Episode #1239: Say A Little Prayer</title>

<description>
Two years of war. 50 hostages. Disturbing images. Rampant antisemitism. Low public opinion. We're living in very difficult times for the Jewish State, and sometimes, there's little more we can do than pray.  Recorded on Tisha B'av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, this week's show kicks off our annual August Chagigot with a show that just feels right for such a painful day: a show devoted to prayer in Israeli music. Whether or not you believe in God, no doubt you believe in a better tomorrow...and these songs yearn for just that. From songs about prayer to lyrics taken right from the Jewish liturgy, these tunes will undoubtedly uplift and inspire you - because it sure feels like we need a little boost of inspiration these days.

<title>Episode #1238: Summer Sizzler</title>

<description>
Kama cham ba'chutz! Man, it's hot outside! Yup, for most of our listeners, 'tis the season for hot temps, cold drinks, lots of sunblock, and doing literally anything you can to beat the heat. Anyone who's been to Israel this time of year knows well of the brutal, unrelenting heat throughout the country. So it makes sense that there are a lot of songs about summer, heat, and trips to the beach! Can we help you cool off with Israeli music? We'll certainly try, with an hour of Hebrew songs about kayitz (summer) fun in the sun. Stay cool, friends! (Original Air Date: July 27, 2025)

<title>Episode #1236: Dry Your Tears</title>

It's always challenging to prepare the show when it falls out on a Jewish fast day, traditionally sad days on the Jewish calendar. So what do you do when you discover that you're broadcasting on the fast of the 17th of Tammuz? The Israeli Music Community came to the rescue, suggesting a show with songs about crying and tears. Sounds pretty depressing, right? Well, it's not what you think. Sure, some songs are sad, but others are upbeat, thought provoking, or just plain fun. And what a playlist - with Jane Bordeaux, David Broza, Rami Kleinstein, Sarit Hadad, and even a Hebrew cover of a classic song by Sting! So stop what you're doing and tune in to this week's edition of Israel Hour Radio. We promise you won't shed any tears over it. (Original Air Date: July 13, 2025)

<title>Episode #1235: Israeli Music Time Machine - 1979</title>

<description>
With the recent war in Iran - and the POSSIBILITY of a 'new day' in Iran - still on our minds, we thought it might be fun to take a look back at the year in which the Iranian Revolution took place and Israel-Iran relationship changed forever. That means we're setting the dial on the Israeli Music Time Machine back to 1979, and looking back at the most popular Israeli music of the year. 1979 also happened to be the year Israel signed a historic peace treaty with Egypt, and the year the Sony Walkman was released - changing the music business forever. Join us for a fun walk down memory lane, with lots of songs you can sing along to! What are your memories (if any) of 1979? (Original Air Date: July 6, 2025)

<title>Episode #1234: Hopes and Dreams</title>

<description>
The war with Iran is over (for now), and there's lots of hopeful talk in the news these days: an end to the war in Gaza, expansion of the Abraham Accords, and who knows what else? Despite never knowing a day of peace, Israelis have always been hopeful that it was just around the corner. Of course, Israeli music reflects that hope in so many tunes, past and present. This week on Israel Hour Radio, Josh latches on to that hope, bringing you a selection of songs about hope and optimism, old and brand new. Enjoy this hour of positive, uplifting Israeli music, presented with hopes for better days ahead. (Original Air Date: June 29, 2025)

<title>Episode #1233: New Israeli Music - June 2025</title>

<description>
Amidst the backdrop of war with Iran...amidst the euphoria of America's (hopefully) successful strike on Iran's nuclear program...amidst a week of sirens, safe rooms, and stress...the Israeli music scene continues to thrive. While Israelis found themselves running to shelters at all hours of the day and night, Israeli radio stations did their best to maintain a sense of normalcy, keeping us entertained with the voices of our favorite Israeli artists. What's playing on the radio during this time of war? This week, Israel Hour Radio brings you a countdown of the most-played songs on Israeli radio stations nationwide. No, most are not songs of patriotism and inspiration. Instead, they're (mostly) run-of-the-mill, ordinary songs of love, life, and relationships - with a few powerful songs thrown in for good measure. What's hot in Israel right now? We'll catch you up on the latest and greatest, this week on Israel Hour Radio. (Original Air Date: June 22, 2025)

<title>Episode #1229: A Pre-Eurovision Party!</title>

<description>
Eurovision week is finally here! As Yuval Refael prepares to represent Israel in Switzerland with bravery, grace, and honor, we take the opportunity to dive into one of our favorite topics: the Pre-Eurovision (aka 'Kdam')! Back before reality singing contests were a thing, Israel would select its song for the Eurovision with a special 'Pre-Eurovision' contest - in which Israel's best and brightest singers would compete for the honor of representing the blue and white. Many of Israel's most beloved songs came from this annual event, and we're playing some of your favorites today on Israel Hour Radio. We have a feeling you'll be singing or dancing along with many of these classic Israeli songs! (Original Air Date: May 11, 2025)

<description>
Happy 77th birthday, Israel! After the frightening wildfires plaguing Central Israel on Yom HaZikaron 2025, this year's Independence Day certainly started off unlike any other. But that didn't stop us from celebrating Israel's 77th in grand fashion! Join Josh Shron as he recaps this year's best musical moments...from new songs, viral videos, and amazing performances at this year's 'unusual' Torch Lighting ceremony on Mount Herzl. We'll also throw in some uplifting, patriotic music released since last Yom Ha'atzmaut, to help boost our spirits throughout this difficult year. All in all, a musical celebration, 77 years in the making! (Original Air Date: May 4, 2025)

<title>Episode #1227: Sounds of Pain for Yom HaZikaron</title>

<description>
The pain of Yom Hazikaron - Israel's Memorial Day - has always been very real and very raw, affecting nearly every home in Israel in some way. But this year, it just feels different. The sad songs take on new meaning. The painful stories are just too numerous. And just this week, we buried more soldiers as part of our 77+ year struggle for existence. Although EVERY day can feel like Yom Hazikaron in Israel, this year hits differently. Join us on Israel Hour Radio as we honor the memories of those we've lost in war, in terror, and in the Holocaust, and begin this solemn day by connecting to our national pain in song.

<title>Episode #1226: The Holiday of Freedom?</title>

<description>
Passover is upon us once again. And once again, this year's observance includes equal parts celebration and desperation. As we celebrate the Jewish holiday of freedom, we can't help but think of the 59 hostages who are not at all free. We think of the men and women of the IDF who will not be at their families' seder tables this year. We remember those who have lost their lives since last Pesach, as well as ALL those missing from the seder table. So this week on Israel Hour Radio, yes, we'll celebrate with lots of joyous Pesach music...but we'll also reflect on the unique nature of yet another post-October 7th Passover.

It seems like everywhere you go in Israel these days, you constantly hear the word 'Amen'. 'May we hear good news!' 'Amen!' 'Wishing your son success and safety in the IDF!' 'Amen!'

Well, if you can think it, we're playing it today. Enjoy 60 minutes of positive, uplifting Israeli music, all centered around that powerful word, 'Amen.' May today's show be uplifting and entertaining! And let us say, 'Amen.' (Original Air Date: March 30, 2025)

We all know - all too well - that the past 17 months have been painful and emotional to say the least. But with Purim on the way, it's a good time to allow ourselves to smile and laugh. Purim reminds us that sometimes, when life looks as dark as can be, the most incredible miracles suddenly come to life. That things are not always what they seem. That life can change dramatically at the drop of a hat. So this Purim, we're giving ourselves permission to LAUGH by sharing humorous Israeli songs along with some great Israel-related stand-up comedy. Join us for a fun hour, and be prepared to leave happy! (Original Air Date: March 9, 2025)

<title>Episode #1219: We Are Family</title>

<description>
The news cycle has so many ups and downs these days, that it can be hard to remember the specific highs and lows. Back on February 8, 2025, Hamas released three hostages: Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi, and Or Levy. Sure, we were overjoyed that they were back home with their families, but we felt downright sick upon seeing their emaciated bodies and pained expressions. As we try to process these emotions...it's suddenly time to go on the air. What could we possibly play during a time like this? Well, songs about family seemed especially appropriate. At a time when family means more than ever, let's hold our loved ones close and get ready for a variety of Israeli songs about our fathers, mothers, siblings, children, even aunts and uncles.

The news cycle has so many ups and downs these days, that it can be hard to remember the specific highs and lows. Back on February 8, 2025, Hamas released three hostages: Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi, and Or Levy. Sure, we were overjoyed that they were back home with their families, but we felt downright sick upon seeing their emaciated bodies and pained expressions. As we try to process these emotions...it's suddenly time to go on the air. What could we possibly play during a time like this? Well, songs about family seemed especially appropriate. At a time when family means more than ever, let's hold our loved ones close and get ready for a variety of Israeli songs about our fathers, mothers, siblings, children, even aunts and uncles. Then, take a breath and await tomorrow's news. (Original Air Date: February 9, 2025)

<title>Episode #1216: Homeward Bound</title>

<description>
The day we recorded this podcast was a pivotal day in the State of Israel. After 471 days in captivity, the first Israeli hostages were finally released from the dungeons of Gaza - and Emily, Doron, and Romi were finally on their way home. With the freedom of our hostages, and the simultaneous release of countless terrorists, it was an emotional day, to say the least. There was little we could do but play songs about 'home', amidst tears and smiles over the powerful images we were watching on TV. With wishes for more good news, we present to you an hour of music that part prayer, part celebration. (Original Air Date: January 19, 2025)

Happy New Year! For our first official show of 2025, let's do something light and fun for a change. Have you ever noticed how many Israeli songs have numbers in their titles?

So this week, we present a unique hour of 'countdown' songs...all songs featuring numbers in their titles! From ten to one, we'll play songs to help ring in 2025 in style. A huge thanks to our friend Rich for making this possible. Celebrate with us on Israel Hour Radio!

<title>Episode #1214: A Celebration of 30 Years</title>

<description>
An episode 30 years in the making! On Chanukah 1994, Josh Shron and his then-girlfriend (now wife) Mairov Dubrovsky wandered into the WRSU Studios as Rutgers University students, and began their radio careers by playing 'Hora' by Avi Toledano. That episode flourished into a full fledged obsession over Israel and its culture, and Josh hasn't looked back. This week, Mairov and Josh are BACK where it all began 30 years ago, at WRSU Studios, for their official 30th anniversary celebration! We have a LOT of memories to share...so join the party, reminisce with us, listen to some great Chanukah music, and celebrate this exciting milestone in Israel Hour history!

Ever since, he's celebrated Israel through music and culture, amassing a large following of English speakers who share his passion for our homeland. All month long, Josh celebrates 30 years at the helm of Israel Hour Radio, by looking back at some of the memorable moments along the way. Beginning this week, Josh plays some of his favorite Israeli songs from each of the 30 years he's been on the air, starting off this week with his favorite songs from 1994 to 2009.

<title>Episode #1211: Todah Rabbah!</title>

<description>
This week, families across the USA gathered for Thanksgiving...a holiday that's become a day about food, football and shopping...but SHOULD be about gratitude. Thankfully (see what I did there?), Israelis tend to be pretty good about expressing appreciation for things that are important to them, in real life and in song. So today we present a playlist of Israeli songs about gratitude and appreciation for blessings large and small, from nature to family to love to our beloved homeland. Have we mentioned how grateful we are that you're tuned in? THANK YOU for listening to Israel Hour Radio! (Original Air Date: November 24, 2024)

<title>Episode #1210: Dreaming of Summer</title>

<description>
Did you go to a Jewish summer camp as a kid? If so, there's a very good chance you sang and listened to a LOT of Israeli music while you were there. For many, camp is an introduction to Hebrew, Zionism, and Israeli culture, with plenty of great music surrounding campers every single day. So when we asked the Israeli Music Community to tell us about the songs they learned in camp, they sent a LONG list! This week on Israel Hour Radio, we present YOUR favorite Israeli songs from camp, as our listeners reminisce about the wonderful memories that surrounded them. Did you go to a Jewish camp? What Israeli songs did you learn there? Tell us on WhatsApp at 732-844-9778. (Original Air Date: November 17, 2024)

<title>Episode #1209: New Israeli Music - November 2024</title>

<description>
It's always fun to sample the latest and greatest Israeli music, to keep up to date with the sound of Israel in real time. But these days, new Israeli music takes many forms. Some songs help us escape the realities of 2024 Israel, while others drag us right into the middle. And so, as we look into the best new music of the past few weeks, we'll hear the best of both worlds: the songs that are just plain fun, plus a selection of songs released to mark the first anniversary of October 7. Prepare for an emotional roller coaster. Yup, it's THAT kind of show again. (Original Air Date: November 10, 2024)

<title>Episode #1207: A Matter of Time</title>

<description>
How are you dealing with the clock change? We 'fell back' in Israel on October 27, and most did so in the USA a week later. Seems that many of us have been hyper-focused on the time of day ever since, right? 'It's only 5pm...how does it already feel like midnight?' Well, with all this talk about time, it seemed like a good *time* to play songs about TIME on Israel Hour Radio! The time will certainly pass quickly as you spend quality time with this week's episode, having a good time listening to timeless Israeli songs about time. So, time to tune in...we think it will be a good use of your time! (Original Air Date: October 27, 2024)

<title>Episode #1206: Smiling Through the Tears</title>

<description>
Chag Sameach! Sukkot is known as “Zman Simchatenu” – the time of our joy. But after the year we’ve had – and with the yahrtzeit of those who lost their lives on October 7 coming up this week - joy is not so easy to come by nowadays. Still, we’re going to try to lift your spirits just a bit this holiday by playing Israeli songs that can INSTANTLY put a smile on your face. Some songs can magically transform your day, after just a few notes. Thanks to our wonderful Israeli Music Community on Facebook, we've curated a playlist of Israeli songs that are sure to help you smile through the pain - and just maybe, that's exactly what we need as we approach Simchat Torah 5784.

<title>Episode #1205: Wartime Yom Kippur Reflections</title>

<description>
Whether or not you're a practicing Jew, we can all get behind the idea of praying for a good new year. That's why this year's Yom Kippur observance was probably the most meaningful, the most inspirational, the most powerful in most of our lifetimes. With concern for our troops in the north and south, Israel under constant missile fire, prayers for the 101 hostages held in Gaza, and increased antisemitism around the world, we certainly had a lot to pray for this year. So when Galgalatz radio asked its social media followers to share which songs were on their minds this past Yom Kippur, the 2,000+ responses they received really gave a good sense of the mental state of Israeli society right now. Today on Israel Hour Radio, we play some of the songs mentioned that were most impactful. (Original Air Date: October 13, 2024)

<title>Episode #1204: Israeli Music Countdown 5784</title>

<description>
Each year around this time, we look back at the most popular Israeli music of the past Jewish year. This, however, was no ordinary year. With war, hostages, loss, and fear dominating the headlines all year long, the music of 5784 had to rise to the occasion - providing comfort, strength, and inspiration. Well, sort of. While many of the year's most popular songs did just that, others offered a short respite...a diversion from the tragedies that unfolded around us. So as we look back at the top songs of 5784 on the eve of the October 7 anniversary, you'll hear a mix of the meaningful and the mundane - because that's exactly what Israelis needed to hear, all year long.

<title>Episode #1203: A Not-So-Fond Farewell To 5784</title>

<description>
Recorded on the day after Israel's elimination of Hassan Nasrallah, this podcast brings with it a wide range of emotions. We're elated over Israel's military success, but still feeling the pain of coming to Rosh Hashana with our hostages still not home. To make things worse, the anniversary of October 7th is only a few days away, and those painful memories are still very fresh in our minds. Yes, it's been a rough year for Israel, and for Jews around the world. But as we approach Rosh Hashana, we have the opportunity to look forward to a fresh start. So this week on Israel Hour Radio, the music you'll hear celebrates Israel's military might, prays for a good year ahead, longs for the return of our hostages, and closes the book on a year many of us would like to forget. Praying for a PEACEFUL 5785. Shana Tova! (Original Air Date: September 29, 2024)

<title>Episode #1199: Shabbat Shalom</title>

<description>
Welcome to Israel Hour Radio's annual AUGUST CHAGIGOT! Each week during the month of August, we'll devote our show to a particular topic in Israeli music. And today? We celebrate the Israeli weekend (regardless of how you celebrate it) with our Chagigat Shirei Shabbat...an hour of Israeli songs about Shabbat! While some spend their Saturdays immersed in prayer and study, others spend it at the beach, in the park, or in the club. For many, it's a combination of all of the above...with a festive Friday night dinner and quality family time at home. No matter how you spend your day, however, Shabbat in Israel is a very special time, with a feeling unlike anywhere else in the world. Shabbat Shalom! (Original Air Date: August 4, 2024)

<title>Episode #1198: The Whole Wide World</title>

<description>
The Summer Olympics are taking place this week in Paris, France, with the spirit of brotherhood, unity, multiculturalism, and competitiveness on full display around the world. These are values shared by every Israeli, and we wish more than anything that our biggest conflicts with other nations were settled on the playing field rather than the battlefield. Israelis love to sing about their own country, but they also love to sing about other countries they admire around the world. So this week on Israel Hour Radio, in the spirit of multiculturalism - and in hopes for world peace - we bring you Israeli songs about countries around the world. Fasten your seatbelt, because we're taking you on a whirlwind journey to France, England, Iceland, Brazil, the UAE, Greece, and many more exciting destinations! You don't even need your passport!

<title>Episode #1197: My Israeli Playlist - Debbie Corwin</title>

<description>
This week on Israel Hour Radio, it’s the return of MY ISRAELI PLAYLIST...where our listeners share their favorite Israeli songs of all time! This time, please welcome Debbie Corwin of Mahwah, NJ! Debbie first visited Israel was with her family on a two week vacation when she was 10 years old.  She then spent 7 1/2 weeks in Israel with  a ZOA program, 'Summer in Moshav', when she graduated high school.  She's been back to Israel 11 times since then, most recently this past March. Since 2011, she and her husband, Jan, have been involved with Zahal Shalom, a non-profit organization that brings 10 wounded Israeli veterans to live with host families in Northern New Jersey. They now serve on the Executive Board. The 2024 Zahal Shalom delegation just returned to Israel, and Debbie and Jan were honored to have hosted their 8th veteran.

Debbie graduated University of Delaware as a music major and had an eleven year career in the music industry in New York. She worked for Tony-award winning playwright Rupert Holmes, serving as the production coordinator, script editor, musical supervisor and orchestrations assistant for three Broadway shows written by Rupert.  The highlight of her music career was working with Barbra Streisand in 1990.  

She then went on to have a successful 20-year career in senior living, before working as the Director of Israel Engagement at the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey.  While working there, she met and began working with Israeli musician, Gilad Segev. Debbie is thrilled to share her favorite Israeli music this week on Israel Hour Radio!

<description>
Summer 2024 is here...and amidst the backdrop of war, hostages, and global antisemitism, Israelis are still prepared to celebrate the season in the only way they know how: By celebrating LIFE with MUSIC. The sounds of summer 2024 in Israel are surprisingly similar to those of any other year - with upbeat tunes to accompany you to the beach, the pool, or anywhere you go to enjoy the season! This week, you'll hear from Netta Barzilai, Noa Kirel, Anna Zak, Sarit Hadad, Narkis, and many more. Plus - Josh is back in New Jersey for a few weeks, and that means he's broadcasting from his 'happy place'...the studios of 88.7 WRSU! Doesn't the show sound better from there?

<author>info@israelhour.com (Josh Shron)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>Summer 2024 is here...and amidst the backdrop of war, hostages, and global antisemitism, Israelis are still prepared to celebrate the season in the only way they know how: By celebrating LIFE with MUSIC. The sounds of summer 2024 in Israel are surprisingly similar to those of any other year - with upbeat tunes to accompany you to the beach, the pool, or anywhere you go to enjoy the season! This week, you'll hear from Netta Barzilai, Noa Kirel, Anna Zak, Sarit Hadad, Narkis, and many more. Plus - Josh is back in New Jersey for a few weeks, and that means he's broadcasting from his 'happy place'...the studios of 88.7 WRSU! Doesn't the show sound better from there?

<title>Episode #1195: Israeli Music Time Machine - 2009</title>

<description>
OK, reality check. 2009 was FIFTEEN years ago. Yup, you heard that right. While it may seem like only yesterday to many of us, 2009 marked a significant year in history and music, leaving a lasting impact on our lives (and our Spotify playlists!). It was also the year Michael Jackson passed away, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was indicted for corruption, and Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States. What were the most popular Israeli songs of 2009? Let’s take a trip in the Israeli Music Time Machine - and a walk down memory lane — to find out! What are your memories and milestones of 2009?

<title>Episode #1191: Like The Old Days</title>

<description>
Remember the  music of the 'good old days'? You know, those blissful days before the world changed forever? We're referring, of course, to the Israeli music released BEFORE October 7. Back then, Israeli songs were generally fun and light, with songs about love and relationships. Although the past several  months have been chock full of powerful, inspirational songs, many Israeli artists are slowly transitioning back to the days of old, with songs that are rather, well, meaningless. And y'know...that may be just what the doctor ordered right now. This week on Israel Hour Radio, we look back at the most played songs on Israeli radio over the past week. Surprisingly, almost all of them have NOTHING to do with the war and October 7...a refreshing change of pace from what we've gotten used to lately. It's time to get reacquainted with Israeli music!

<title>Episode #1190: Israel's High Holidays</title>

<description>
Each year, there is so much emotional Israeli music that emerges in commemoration of Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut. Between new original songs, musical tributes at state ceremonies, and performances at other events around the country, it can be difficult to keep up with it all. This year, however, was no ordinary year. Israel's Memorial Day was more somber than ever, and Independence Day took on a very different significance. So it only makes sense that we take a second week to explore the meaningful music that provided the soundtrack to this very important week. You'll hear uplifting songs celebrating our homeland, gut-wrenching songs mourning our losses, and new takes on classic songs that remind us of what we are fighting for. You'll also hear Eden Golan (finally) sing the original 'October Rain' - performing this year's Israeli Eurovision entry as it was always meant to be heard. Fasten your seatbelts for yet another emotional roller coaster ride, this week on Israel Hour Radio. (Original Air Date: May 19, 2024)

<title>Episode #1189: From Darkness To Light</title>

<description>
We recorded this episode moments before Yom HaZikaron began in Israel, not sure of what to expect in this very strange and difficult year. So much has happened since last year's national 'high holiday season' in Israel. So much pain, so much fear, so much destruction, so much anxiety. How can we bear the burden of Memorial Day this year? How can we CELEBRATE Independence Day in a year like this? Well, perhaps music can help. This year, Israel's musical community has worked hard to create songs that capture this year's unique spirit, from sounds of pain to sounds of pride.  Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut may be behind us, but this week's songs will help you hold on to the powerful emotions you’ve undoubtedly felt all week long – and throughout the past seven months.

<author>info@israelhour.com (Josh Shron)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>We recorded this episode moments before Yom HaZikaron began in Israel, not sure of what to expect in this very strange and difficult year. So much has happened since last year's national 'high holiday season' in Israel. So much pain, so much fear, so much destruction, so much anxiety. How can we bear the burden of Memorial Day this year? How can we CELEBRATE Independence Day in a year like this? Well, perhaps music can help. This year, Israel's musical community has worked hard to create songs that capture this year's unique spirit, from sounds of pain to sounds of pride. Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut may be behind us, but this week's songs will help you hold on to the powerful emotions you’ve undoubtedly felt all week long – and throughout the past seven months.

<title>Episode #1188: Heroes Don't Wear Capes</title>

<description>
What does it mean to be a hero? What does it mean to be a JEWISH hero? And what can we learn about heroes from the tragic events of October 7? This week, we are honored to welcome Israeli singer Gilad Segev, creator of "Project Heroes". Ever since October 7, Gilad has spent his time gathering heroic stories from that Black Shabbat...stories of heroes who sacrificed their own lives to save countless others. These stories inspired Gilad so much that he set many of them to music, and now he's presenting them in a series of special concerts throughout the US and Canada. Gilad has a lot to say about the lessons our heroes can teach us. Don't miss this inspiring interview! (Original Air Date: May 5, 2024)

<title>Episode #1187: Why Is This Night Different?</title>

<description>
Passover is here, and by all accounts, this year's celebration will be a lot different than most years'. Like every year, we'll gather around the seder table with family and friends. But this year, so many will be missing from the table. This year, we'll save empty seats for hostages and for active soldiers, all who SHOULD be joining our seder. We'll also see many empty seats, vacated by the souls we lost on October 7. As Israel remains under attack, our observance of Passover is marked by a strange mix of celebration, frustration, and trepidation. Have we ever experienced Pesach quite like this? As we celebrate Passover 5784 on Israel Hour Radio, sure, we'll share the usual mix of joyous Pesach favorites. But this year, we also include new songs for 5784, with painful reminders of our loved ones who are missing from the table. (Original Air Date: April 21, 2024)

<description>
This week, we acknowledge a grim milestone: six months since the October 7 massacre, kidnapping of hostages, and the resulting Operation Swords of Iron. As we watch events unfold, we remain sick with worry for the safety of our brothers and sisters in Israel and around the world. At the same time, we stand united in the belief that the State of Israel will emerge from this conflict stronger than before. In expressing a roller coaster of emotions, the music of this conflict has been nothing short of inspiring. This week, a recap of the most significant songs of the past six months, with prayers for a brighter future. (Original Air Date: April 14, 2024)

<title>Episode #1185: Inside and Outside the Hurricane</title>

<description>
With Israel still very much at war, the country's 'new normal' continues to permeate its music. Yes, some of the new music is very raw, very painful, and very powerful. Other songs are as seemingly as mundane as can be, as Israeli music continues to shift onto topics other than the war. Still, nearly every song you hear these days can be interpreted differently due to today's complicated reality. Take, for example, Israel's 2024 Eurovision entry, 'Hurricane.' Even though the song sounds completely 'pareve,' we all know it's about Israel's current state of affairs and the pain so many of us are feeling. You'll hear the song this week, along with many other new releases...all guaranteed to make you think, make you cry, make you smile, and make you connect to Israel on a deeper level.

<title>Episode #1183: Israeli Music Time Machine - 1974</title>

<description>
Over the last several months, Israel Hour Radio has kept you up to date with the latest Israeli music, born of pain and pride during this time of war. It's reminiscent of another time of war - the Yom Kippur War of 1973. It began 50 years (nearly to the day) before the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, and like our current conflict, Israel was taken by surprise on one of its most sacred days of the year. Israel suffered many losses during that war, and much of the music released the following year reflected that sad reality. So this week on Israel Hour Radio, we bring you the most popular Israeli music of 1974, in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War. No, it's not all sad, and not even all meaningful. In fact, some of the songs you'll hear are just plain fun. But it will help you connect to the mood of Israel in the wake of a very difficult time in its history, and we have a feeling you'll find yourself singing along with many of the nostalgic Israeli songs you'll hear.

<title>Episode #1182: Sing, Sing A Song</title>

<description>
Clay Aiken once said: "A song can be more than words and music ... when sung with soul a song carries you to another world, to a place where no matter how much pain you feel, you are never alone." Well, in today's very painful world, so many in Israel and around the world have turned to singing to help ease the pain and bring people together. Ever since October 7th, the internet has been flooded with videos of communal singing, in which thousands of people filled up auditoriums, stadiums, or schoolyards to sing their hearts out. The result? A few moments of sheer joy. This week's Israel Hour Radio brings you some of these special performances, in which you can't help but be swept up by the enthusiasm, unity, and exuberance of these magical musical moments. Tune in, and get ready to smile. (Original Air Date: February 25, 2024)

<author>info@israelhour.com (Josh Shron)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>Clay Aiken once said: "A song can be more than words and music ... when sung with soul a song carries you to another world, to a place where no matter how much pain you feel, you are never alone." Well, in today's very painful world, so many in Israel and around the world have turned to singing to help ease the pain and bring people together. Ever since October 7th, the internet has been flooded with videos of communal singing, in which thousands of people filled up auditoriums, stadiums, or schoolyards to sing their hearts out. The result? A few moments of sheer joy. This week's Israel Hour Radio brings you some of these special performances, in which you can't help but be swept up by the enthusiasm, unity, and exuberance of these magical musical moments. Tune in, and get ready to smile. (Original Air Date: February 25, 2024) Full playlist at https://www.myisraelimusic.com/episode1182 Love the show?

<title>Episode #1181: From Meaningful To Mundane</title>

<description>
What does Israeli music sound like today? A mix of everything. Some of it is sad, some of it hopeful, some of it patriotic. And some...is just back to normal. This week on Israel Hour Radio, you'll hear it all - from love songs to the country, to plain old love songs that could be recorded anytime. From painful songs about our hostages, to painful songs in memory of fallen Israeli soldiers. From classic Israeli songs heard in a whole new light, to classic Jewish texts reimagined. A meaningful mix of new Israeli music, sprinkled with a few ounces of the mundane. We'll also remember Israeli singer Lior Farhi, who passed away suddenly on February 12, 2024. (Original Air Date: February 18, 2024)

<title>Episode #1180: Sad Music From My Happy Place</title>

<description>
Ask Josh Shron about his 'happy place,' and he'll tell you: number one is on the beach in Tel Aviv, and number two is behind the control board at WRSU Studios in New Jersey. This week he comes to you from Happy Place 2 for the first time in six months, and you can just hear the excitement in his voice! Despite his joy, he also brings along a playlist of emotional songs about the 'matzav' (situation)...with new Israeli music mourning those we've lost, praying for those we miss, and celebrating our beloved homeland. You'll also meet Israel's newly-crowned representative  to Eurovision 2024, and get a small taste of her impressive vocal abilities. All in all, it's an hour of entertainment, emotion, inspiration, and so much more! (Original Air Date: February 11, 2024)

<description>
We've focused on the victims, we've focused on the survivors...but how about a show dedicated to the soldiers?

This week, Israel Hour Radio salutes our chayalim during this time of war, with positive, uplifting songs of strength, heroism, patriotism, and dedication. You'll emerge from the hour with a heightened sense of pride in our men and women in green! (Original Air Date: January 28, 2024)

<title>Episode #1178: Musical Therapy</title>

<description>
Music is amazing. It can raise you up or knock you down with just a few well-placed notes or lyrics. And somehow, the music in Israel since October 7 has been able to take us on all kinds of highs and lows. Each week, we at Israel Hour Radio have taken you on a musical roller-coaster ride, throwing your emotions into overdrive. But this week, just by coincidence, it seems we have more uplifting songs than we've had in a while. And despite the pain, we have plenty of good reasons to be optimistic, even during these dark days. No, not all of this week's brand new songs will put a smile on your face. In this time when it's so easy to be bogged down by depression, however, it sure feels good to be motivated, inspired, and uplifted by a song or two. Consider it musical therapy.

<title>Episode #1177: One Hundred Days</title>

<description>
It's been more than 100 days. 100 agonizing days of darkness. Of heartbreak. Of pain. 100 days of despair. The world recently marked 100 days since the horrific events of October 7, with special emphasis on the hostages that remain in Hamas captivity. This is a milestone we never imagined we'd reach. As painful as it is to think about the plight of these beautiful men, women, and children, it's so important for us to keep them in our hearts and minds every single day. So this week on Israel Hour Radio, we mark this tragic milestone with a recap of the songs that have emerged in support of our hostages over the past 100 days, pleading for the world to ensure that we BRING. THEM. HOME. NOW!(Original Air Date: January 14, 2024)

<title>Episode #1175: The Year in Israeli Music 2023</title>

<description>
Yes, it's become the year many of us would like to forget. But as 2023 comes to a close, we take an hour to reminisce about the songs released in the blissful days before the world turned upside down. Radio stations in Israel radically changed their playlists after the tragic events of October 7, but for nine months prior, they played innocent, fun, upbeat songs, blaring on radios throughout the country. This week, we count down the songs that received the most airplay on Israeli radio throughout 2023, offering a short respite from the powerful, heavy songs we've become accustomed to in the days since that 'Black Shabbat.' What Israeli songs were most popular in 2023? Join us and find out! (Original Air Date: December 31, 2023)

Radio stations in Israel radically changed their playlists after the tragic events of October 7, but for nine months prior, they played innocent, fun, upbeat songs, blaring on radios throughout the country. This week, we count down the songs that received the most airplay on Israeli radio throughout 2023, offering a short respite from the powerful, heavy songs we've become accustomed to in the days since that 'Black Shabbat.' What Israeli songs were most popular in 2023? Join us and find out! (Original Air Date: December 31, 2023) Full playlist at https://www.myisraelimusic.com/episode1175 Love the show?

<title>Episode #1174: Ups and Downs</title>

<description>
It's been more than 80 days since the horrors of October 7th, and the healing process still has a very long way to go. There are more than 100 hostages hidden somewhere (presumably) beneath Gaza, we learn daily of more fallen Israeli soldiers, and yes, we still are a very pained nation. Can music help us heal? You tell us. This week, many of the songs are as depressing as can be...but maybe that's exactly what we need to help us move forward. We continue to look at the music of Operation Swords of Iron, as Israel Hour Radio helps you connect to the complicated mess of emotions deep inside every Israeli citizen.

<title>Episode #1173: Our Hope Is Not Yet Lost</title>

<description>
War, sadness, death, hostages, casualties...as Operation Swords of Iron continues, the news isn't getting any easier to digest. But as usual, music helps us cope - and Israeli music seems to be a bit more upbeat, optimistic, and positive over the past few weeks. The roller coaster ride of emotions continues this week on Israel Hour Radio, but this time, the brand new music you'll hear is generally more positive than it has been lately. It's all about perspective and mindset. Sure, this 'feel-good' music isn't going to erase the bad news, but it might just help us get through our days and nights with a little more hope for a better future.

<title>Episode #1172: Banishing The Darkness</title>

<description>
Chanukah 5784 is here - perhaps the most meaningful Chanukah in our lifetimes. With Israel at war and antisemitism rising around the world, the Chanukah story is as relevant as ever. Can we truly celebrate during these dark times? We think there's no better time to spread the light of Chanukah to banish the darkness. So this week, a little musical 'comfort food' as we celebrate Chanukah the way it's meant to be celebrated - with songs of light, candles, dreidels, latkes, sufganiyot, and more. Oh, and miracles...because we could sure use one this year. (Original Air Date: December 10, 2023)

<title>Episode #1170: An Emotional Roller Coaster</title>

<description>
Ever since Operation Swords of Iron began, the situation has pulled our hearts and emotions in a gazillion different directions. On one hand, we're mourning the massive loss of life on October 7, and are worried sick about our hostages. On the other hand, we are bursting with pride for the brave IDF soldiers fighting for our freedom. Many Israelis are finding their spiritual voices, some for the very first time. Add the euphoria of some of the hostages coming home, and you suddenly find your heart being pulled down every possible pathway. Israeli music continues to latch onto each of these emotions, with songs that are spiritual, mournful, optimistic, proud, and just about everything in between. We continue to connect you to the vibe of today's Israel - as complicated as it may be. (Original Air Date: November 26, 2023)

<title>Episode #1169: Think Positive</title>

<description>
For most of us who care about Israel, the past few weeks have been a roller coaster, to say the least. One minute we're deeply depressed, the next we're uplifted by the bravery and courage of the IDF. Along the way, we've probably felt every emotion in between. That's been the vibe in Israel ever since October 7, and that's been the theme of the music we've played over the past few weeks. This week, however, we thought it would be nice to focus on the positive, just for a bit. So with your help, we've assembled a playlist of Israeli songs of strength, positivity, unity, and optimism. No, these songs don't erase the sadness. But for an hour-long respite from the roller coaster, they might be just what the doctor ordered. Consider it a musical prescription to lift your spirits.

<title>Episode #1167: Music Helps Us Cope</title>

<description>
30 days since the 'Black Shabbat' of October 7, 2023, and it's not getting any easier. The images continue to haunt us, the hostage crisis continues to infuriate us, and the soldiers continue to inspire us. But as usual, music is there to unite us. Yes, the songs can be painful, heart-wrenching, and emotional, but they connect us to Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael in a very powerful and meaningful way. This week, we present more songs inspired by the events surrounding Operation Swords of Iron, performed by many of your favorite Israeli artists. These truly are songs you can FEEL...songs that, indeed, help build a stronger Israel. (Original Air Date: November 5, 2023)

<title>Episode #1165: Melodies of War</title>

<description>
Israel's musical community is amazing. When tragedy strikes in Israel, they are always there to help us cope with the grief. So as Israel's war against Hamas continues, Israel's top musical artists have sprung into action. This past week, some of our favorite artists released an impressive selection of songs to capture - and elevate - the somber mood of the country. These emotional songs will make you cry, inspire you, and fill you with pride during this difficult time. While the songs themselves are powerful, we highly suggest you watch the accompanying music videos for an even more impactful experience. Grab some tissues, and find all of the YouTube videos for this week's show at https://www.myisraelimusic.com/episode1165 (Original Air Date: October 22, 2023)

<title>Episode #1164: Together We Will Win</title>

<description>
We return to you this week with very mixed emotions. On one hand, it's Josh's first show since making Aliyah, and he's thrilled to be back. On the other hand, Israel is at war - one that threatens its very survival. It's been a VERY rough week in Israel to say the least, and at the very least, we could all use a 'musical hug'. Join Josh on his very first broadcast from his home studio in Israel, as he shares the music he's been hearing on the radio this week along with your song requests. He'll also share his thoughts on watching the conflict unfold from the other side of the Mediterranean. (Original Air Date: October 15, 2023)

<title>Episode #1163: Have a Good Trip!</title>

<description>
Welcome to August Chagigot 2023! Each week during the month of August, we devote an episode of Israel Hour Radio to a particular topic in Israeli music, and with your help, create a playlist of songs about that topic. With only three more live shows to go before Josh makes Aliyah, we thought it would be fun to kick things off this year with a 'Chagigat Shirei Nesiya' - a celebration of songs about travel. Sometimes the journey is as exciting as the destination, and these songs will help transform any adventure into a fun, exciting ride! Nesiya Tova - have a great trip!

<title>Episode #1158: My Israeli Playlist - Breandan Ward</title>

<description>
Our listeners pick their favorite Israeli songs! This time, we're pleased to introduce you to Breandan Ward of London, who has a very interesting Israeli music journey to share! Breandan grew up on a dairy farm in Ireland and moved to London after college where he worked in investment banking for 10 years before later moving to New York. His first encounter with Hebrew and Judaism happened when he met Israelis during a backpacking trip to Australia in 2002, around the same time as he started losing his sight due to an inherited eye disease. Inspired by both the similarities and tensions of the Irish and Jewish 'clan' mentalities, Breandan started learning Hebrew and Torah, and twenty years on, feels at home in the common experience of joys and sorrows of Israel and the Middle East as expressed through its music.

<title>Episode #1157: Israeli Music Time Machine - 1998</title>

<description>
Seems like just yesterday to some, but 1998 was 25 years ago. It was the year Google was founded, 'Titanic' was a hit in theaters, and Monica Lewinsky was a household name. But what songs were playing on Israeli radios 25 years ago? This week, we set the dials on our Israeli Music Time Machine to 1998, and play some of Israel's biggest songs of the year. You'll hear songs by Eyal Golan, Ethnix, and Ben Artzi (who was HUGE that year), and a little song by Dana International...that made international news that year. What are your memories from 1998?

But what songs were playing on Israeli radios 25 years ago? This week, we set the dials on our Israeli Music Time Machine to 1998, and play some of Israel's biggest songs of the year. You'll hear songs by Eyal Golan, Ethnix, and Ben Artzi (who was HUGE that year), and a little song by Dana International...that made international news that year. What are your memories from 1998? (Original Air Date: June 11, 2023)

<title>Episode #1146: Israeli Music Time Machine - 2013</title>

<description>
Was 2013 actually TEN years ago? Crazy but true. It was the year of the Boston Marathon bombing, the 90th birthday of Shimon Peres, the passing of Arik Einstein...and Miley Cyrus teaching us how to 'twerk' on MTV. In music, however, Israelis were listening to Nathan Goshen, Keren Peles, Elai Botner, Idan Amedi, and many more. Join us as we take a musical trip back in time, and re-live the moments that made us smile, cry, and connect to Israel from ten years ago. (Original Air Date: January 22, 2023)

<title>Episode #1143: Remembering Yitzchak Klepter</title>

<description>
The Israeli music world is still reeling from the loss of Yitzchak Klepter: composer, singer, and a *mean* guitarist. Most of us know his name very well from his time in the legendary 'Kaveret' ('Yo Ya', anyone?), but that just scratches the surface. Klepter was responsible for so much of the Israeli music we know and love, behind hit songs for Gidi Gov, Gali Atari, Arik Einstein and many others. Yitzchak Klepter passed away on December 8, 2022 at age 72, and we think you'll be surprised by some of the tunes you'll hear on our special tribute to his music.

<title>Episode #1139: All I Have To Do Is Dream</title>

<description>
On November 20, 1977, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat touched down in Israel and addressed the Knesset. To many, this day marked the beginnings of the fulfillment of a dream... the dream of peace in the Middle East. 45 years later, that dream has come even closer to fruition, with several other Arab countries now enjoying normalization with the State of Israel. To mark this historic anniversary, Israel Hour Radio presents an hour of songs about dreams. Can Israeli music make your dreams come true? Probably not... but these songs CAN inspire us to never stop dreaming. (Original Air Date: November 20, 2022)

In a song we play every year, Ofra Haza sang, 'After the holidays, everything starts again'. So as the Jewish holiday season has come and gone for 5783, we are feeling optimistic for the year ahead. And we're not the only ones...Israel's musicians love to sing about new beginnings and the opportunity to start over. So this week, Israel Hour Radio presents an hour of songs of rebirth, renewal, rejuvenation and reset. Perhaps these positive songs will prompt you to start that thing you've been putting off until 'acharei ha'chagim' - after the holidays? (Original Air Date: October 23, 2022)

<title>Episode #1129: Cray Cray</title>

<description>
When you think about Israel, you may picture the Western Wall, the sandy beaches of Tel Aviv, or your favorite shuk (open-air market). But chances are, you'll also recall some sort of 'balagan' scenario; a chaotic scene, out-of-control lines at Ben Gurion airport, or just about any interaction with government bureaucracy. Our August Chagigot continue this week with a 'Chagigat Shirei Balagan' - a collection of songs with the word 'balagan' in the title or lyrics. If you've been to Israel, no doubt you've experienced a balagan once or twice. Be sure to tell us about the experience! (Original Air Date: August 28, 2022)

<title>Episode #1127: Shalom, Tzvika</title>

<description>
On August 14, 2022, we awoke to the sad reality of a world without Tzvika Pick, who passed away earlier that day at the age of 72. Within minutes, we at Israel Hour Radio scrambled to pull together more than a dozen of Tzvika's greatest compositions, both sung by him and by other Israeli musical superstars. Truth be told, it wasn't so difficult. Tzvika's music is so much a part of the Israeli soundtrack of the past 50 years, that the 'greatest hits' you'll hear this week just scratch the surface of the incredible musical legacy 'The Maestro' leaves behind. Tzvika Pick will be sorely missed. (Original Air Date: August 14, 2022)

<title>Episode #1126: Sad Songs Say So Much</title>

<description>
As we get closer to Tisha B'av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, our tradition encourages us to think sad thoughts. But here at Israel Hour Radio, our job is to uplift you, not depress you! So this week, rather than playing 'sad' songs, we're sharing an hour of songs about sadness, and they all have the word 'atzuv' (sad) in the title. Yes, some of them may be sad, but others...not so much. So put on a happy face, and tune in! (Original Air Date: July 31, 2022)

<title>Episode #1124: Comfort Through Music</title>

<description>
When you're recording a show on a Jewish fast day, what kind of music do you play? Well, that depends on what you want to *feel* on that day. Are we supposed to be sad and depressed, or hopeful and positive? Well, we chose the latter. Recorded on the 17th of Tammuz, a sad day on the Jewish calendar, this podcast features those Israeli classics that just make you feel better the second they begin. Mostly selected by our listeners, these songs are not too upbeat, but certainly not depressing...the perfect combination for this time of year. (Original Air Date: July 17, 2022)

<title>Episode #1121: Singing the Praises of Jerusalem</title>

<description>
One of the things we love about Israeli music is that, 74 years later, it still reflects a tremendous love for our country. This is especially true in the way Israel's music industry celebrates Yom Yerushalayim, commemorating the liberation and reunification of Israel's capital city in 1967. Considering we waited for this day for 2,000 years, it probably makes sense that we're singing about it 55 years later! As we celebrate Yom Yerushalayim 5782, we present an hour of musical love letters to Jerusalem - with some composed just this year. (Original Air Date: May 29, 2022)

<title>Episode #1112: Music For a Rainy Day</title>

<description>
Snow? Ice? Frigid temperatures? Though these things do occur from time to time in Israel, they are rare. This time of year, however, Israelis do see quite a bit of rain - and rather than a nuisance, it is seen as a blessing. Apparently, they like to sing about it too! So this week on Israel Hour Radio, we bring you a collection of our favorite Israeli songs about 'geshem' - rain. We'll turn your next gloomy, dreary, soggy day into one that's bright and upbeat - so save this podcast episode for a rainy day! (Original Air Date: February 13, 2022)

<title>Episode #1103: Israeli Music Time Machine - 1977</title>

<description>
It was the year Atari was born, Elvis died, and 'Star Wars' first brought us to 'a galaxy far, far away.' But this week in 1977, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt arrived in Israel for the very first time, ushering in an era of peace between the two countries which is still in force today. In honor of that momentous occasion in Israeli history, we set our Israeli Music Time Machine back to 1977 to look back at the most popular songs of the year. Assuming you were around back then, what are your memories of '77? (Original Air Date: November 21, 2021)

<title>Episode #1089: Ahavat Chinam - Songs of Love and Kindness</title>

<description>
Last week on Tisha B'av, the Jewish world cried over the ongoing pandemic of 'sin'at chinam' - baseless hatred. The antidote? 'Ahavat Chinam' - love and kindness. A week after Tisha B'av comes 'Tu B'av' - the Jewish holiday of love. But instead of playing cheesy love songs, this week we're playing songs ABOUT love and common decency. You'll love singing along to these positive, uplifting Israeli songs of kindness, unity, brotherhood, and optimism. (Original Air Date: July 25, 2021)

<title>Episode #1088: Three Israeli Musical Icons - Manor, Almagor, Shemer</title>

<description>
We recently discovered that three of Israel's most important musical poets share a birthday on July 13th.  Dan Almagor turned 86 this year, Ehud Manor would have been 80, and Naomi Shemer would have turned 91. Today we celebrate the music of these great artists, with popular songs that will undoubtedly have you singing along in no time. Recorded on Tisha B'av, this week's podcast focuses on the optimistic side of the holiday. While we still have plenty for which to mourn, these great songs help us understand how far our beloved Israel has come in just 73 years. (Original Air Date: July 18, 2021)

<title>Episode #1087: LGBT Singers In Israel</title>

<description>
Welcome to the return of My Israeli Playlist – a monthly feature in which we invite our listeners to present their favorite Israeli songs of all time! We’re excited to welcome Richard Isaac of Seattle, Washington – longtime listener and a MAJOR part of our Israeli music community. Rich has been listening for at least two decades, and we’re thrilled to have him on the show!

In honor of Pride Month (albeit a few days late), Rich’s playlist features a handful of Israeli gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender musical artists - many of whom are among the most successful and popular singers and composers of the last 40 or 50 years. A few of them may come as a surprise, but as you’ll hear, they have been around for decades, and their stories may make you hear their lyrics in a new light. (Original Air Date: July 4, 2021)

<title>Episode #1086: A Tribute To 'Abba'</title>

<description>
No, we're not talking about the Swedish pop music group from the 70s.... In honor of Fathers Day in the USA, we're taking some time to pay a musical tribute to 'Abba' - the Hebrew word for 'father'. Turns out there are a lot of Israeli songs devoted to fathers, and our incredible community came up with a string of amazing tunes! These tunes are sure to put a smile on your face - and perhaps a lump in your throat - as you reflect on the special fathers in your life. (Original Air Date: June 20, 2021)

<title>Episode #1085: New Israeli Music - May 2021</title>

<description>

May 2021 was an interesting month in Israel, full of highs and lows. It began with a general feeling of hope, with most Coronavirus restrictions lifted and life getting back to normal. However, the celebratory mood quickly turned to one of fear, with 4,000 rockets raining down on Israeli cities. Israelis left the streets once again and huddled in bomb shelters. Once that was over, frustration...as antisemitism and anti-Zionism began to emerge around the world. Much of the music you'll hear this week reflects many of those emotions, punctuated by new songs from Ivri Lider, Noa Kirel and Omer Adam, Marina Maximillian and others. Immerse yourself into Israeli society with a selection of fantastic new Israeli music! (Original Air Date: June 13, 2021)

Coronavirus is slowly fading into obscurity (we hope!), the world is opening up again, and it's a great time to get back to the beach! We'll help you do just that this week on Israel Hour Radio, with a fun collection of Israeli songs about the ocean, the beach, the sun, and of course, 'matkot' - the ultimate Israeli beach sport. Allow us to welcome you to 'kayitz'...no sunblock required! (Original Air Date: May 30, 2021)

<title>Episode #1083: Shalom, Salaam, Peace</title>

<description>

In the aftermath of Israel's latest flare up with Hamas in Gaza, Jews everywhere have seen an ugly escalation of anti-Semitism around the world. As we remain vigilant and stand up against hate and intolerance, we also pray for peace. It just so happens that Israelis have been yearning for peace since the founding of the state, and apparently, like to sing about it. You'll hear some of our favorite 'shirei shalom' - songs of peace - this week on Israel Hour Radio. (Original Air Date: May 23, 2021)

<title>Episode #1082: A Musical 'Hug' For the IDF</title>

<description>
To say the least, it's been a tense week for Israel. Our brothers and sisters are under constant threat of rocket fire, and many have spent several days huddled in bomb shelters. Throughout it all, the brave men and women of the IDF have done their best to keep our nation safe.

Today, we thank them through music - offering prayers, praise, hope, and gratitude. It's our way of giving a virtual 'hug' to our our chayalim and chayalot. May we see better days ahead. (Original Air Date: May 16, 2021)

<title>Episode #1068: A Musical Celebration of Tu BiShvat</title>

<description>
Happy Tu BiShvat! The annual 'birthday of the trees' is the perfect time to reflect on the LAND of Israel. Long before it was cool to be an environmentalist, Israelis were singing about the environment. From the earliest days of the state, agriculture has been an integral part of Israeli society, and there’s no shortage of songs about trees, fruit, agriculture, nature, and our beloved homeland. Thanks to the help of our Israeli Music Community on Facebook, you'll hear a fantastic selection of 'all-natural' songs this week on Israel Hour Radio.

While you're listening, tell us...how do YOU observe this special day? What are your memories of Tu Bishvat? What fruits and vegetables taste better in Israel than anywhere else in the world? Be sure to let us know. Chag sameach! (Original Air Date: 1/24/21)

<title>Episode #1049: Black Voices in Israeli Music</title>

<description>
Israeli society is as diverse as can be, and nowhere is that diversity more evident than in its music. Mass immigration from Ethiopia in the 80s and 90s produced a long list of talented black Israeli singers and musicians - many of whom top the Israeli music charts on a regular basis. This week, we're proud to feature these impressive black Israeli voices, each of whom has left his or her permanent mark on the land of Israel. Many have also brought their cultures and languages into the national soundtrack, injecting a little bit of the 'old country' into mainstream Israeli music. You'll love learning about these artists, as well as the cultural traditions they bring with them every time they take the stage.

<title>Episode #1047: Idan-a-thon! The Era of Paradise</title>

<description>
In Hebrew, 'Idan' means era and 'Eden' means...well, Eden (or paradise). They're two of the most popular first names in Israel, and happen to belong to some of Israel's most talented singers and musicians. So we decided to devote an entire episode to singers named 'Eden' - like Eden Alene, Eden Ben Zaken, and Eden Hason - or 'Idan'  - like Idan Raichel, Idan Amedi, or Idan Yaniv. Who would have thought that this was such a popular name in contemporary Israeli music?

<title>Episode #1035: Israel's Entry to Eurovision 2020 (A Mini-Episode)</title>

<description>
We already know that Eden Alene will represent Israel in Eurovision 2020, but what song will she sing? Well, after a not-so-impressive showing last year, Israelis had the chance to vote for their favorite song this year. In a nationally-televised contest, Eden presented four songs, one of which would become our Eurovision song this year. Before three of them fade into obscurity, we wanted to make sure you heard all four in this mini-episode of Israel Hour Radio. Which one would YOU have selected?

<title>Episode #1034: 20 Years Without Ofra Haza</title>

<description>
February 23rd marked 20 years since the untimely passing of Ofra Haza, who left us in 2000 at age 41. Simply put, Ofra meant EVERYTHING to her fans. She represented the very best that Israel had to offer...a true 'rags to riches' story, pride in her Yemenite heritage, a lover of the Land of Israel, a voice like no other, a gorgeous person inside and out, and a genuinely nice and humble individual. This week, we celebrate Ofra's musical career with her most popular songs, covers of her songs sung by others, our own interview with Ofra from 1996, and a fascinating look into her role in 'The Prince of Egypt'...which she recorded (flawlessly) in 18 languages!

<title>Episode #1033: Does Israeli Music Really 'Build a Stronger Israel'?</title>

<description>

Also: meet Eden Alene, the Ethiopian-Israeli recently selected to represent Israel in Eurovision 2020! We'll discuss her reality TV victory, and meet the runners-up. PLUS: Static and Ben-El are making progress in their international career...Netta Barzilai releases (another) very odd new song...and brand new Israeli music by Eyal Golan, Idan Amedi, Ishay Ribo, and many more!

It's amazing how a few days in Israel can be so inspirational. When you feel so connected to Israel and its culture, simply being in the country can have a profound effect.

Every trip has a soundtrack, too. Josh is back from a week in Israel, and is excited to offer a small window into the sounds that defined his trip.

<title>Episode #1025: A Year Without Yigal Bashan</title>

<description>
It's been a year since the untimely passing of Israeli music legend Yigal Bashan. Yigal was responsible for much of the Israeli soundtrack from the 60s through the 2010s, and his death sent shockwaves throughout Israeli society. To mark the first anniversary of his passing, several well-known Israeli artists have lovingly, respectfully, and creatively covered many of his most popular songs in a new tribute album, "Im Hayiti Shar Lach" (If I Would Sing To You). It's not too often that we devote an entire show to one album, but we think you'll enjoy this recreation of Israeli music history and Yigal Bashan's legacy.(Original air date: 12/15/19)

<title>Episode #1009: Israeli Music for Kids, Tweens and Teens</title>

<description>
It's the return of our Chagigat Shirei Yeladim - a celebration of Israeli music for kids! Mairov and Josh have brought their five children (ages 6-19) into the studio this week, and told them to select their favorite Israeli songs and play your requests. This time, though, when we say 'music for kids', we actually mean music for OUR kids. Most of them have outgrown the traditional nursery rhymes, opting instead for Omer Adam, Static and Ben-El, Netta Barzilai, etc. They did a pretty good job running the broadcast, but our six-year-old is the one who steals the show. Literally. He refused to stop talking. (Original air date: August 25, 2019)

<author>info@israelhour.com (Josh Shron)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>It's the return of our Chagigat Shirei Yeladim - a celebration of Israeli music for kids! Mairov and Josh have brought their five children (ages 6-19) into the studio this week, and told them to select their favorite Israeli songs and play your requests. This time, though, when we say 'music for kids', we actually mean music for OUR kids. Most of them have outgrown the traditional nursery rhymes, opting instead for Omer Adam, Static and Ben-El, Netta Barzilai, etc. They did a pretty good job running the broadcast, but our six-year-old is the one who steals the show. Literally. He refused to stop talking. (Original air date: August 25, 2019) Full playlist at https://www.myisraelimusic.com/1009</itunes:subtitle></item>

We had mixed emotions on the day this show was recorded, 24 hours after the brutal murder of 11 Jews in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. On one hand, Jews worldwide were grieving, still trying to come to terms with the shocking news. On the other hand, we feel that we have an obligation to celebrate Israel and its culture in the 60 minutes we are allotted each week. So after we play a couple of songs of hope, we spend the rest of the hour celebrating brand new music from Israel...and maybe that's just what we need today. Am Yisrael Chai!

<author>info@israelhour.com (Josh Shron)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>We had mixed emotions on the day this show was recorded, 24 hours after the brutal murder of 11 Jews in a synagogue in Pittsburgh. On one hand, Jews worldwide were grieving, still trying to come to terms with the shocking news. On the other hand, we feel that we have an obligation to celebrate Israel and its culture in the 60 minutes we are allotted each week. So after we play a couple of songs of hope, we spend the rest of the hour celebrating brand new music from Israel...and maybe that's just what we need today. Am Yisrael Chai!</itunes:subtitle></item>

In other words, you probably know the song, but you may not know the artist. Tune in and uncover some musical gems!
