    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    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 inter

    Episode #1280: Your New Favorite Singer (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    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 ho

    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 ho

    Episode #1278: From Sorrow To Joy (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    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 B

    Episode #1277: Voices Behind 'Da Voice' (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    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 int
