Israel Hour Radio - Israeli Music Podcast

Our look back into the best Israeli music of the past Jewish year continues! Last week, we shared the most popular Israeli songs of the year as voted on by Galgalatz listeners. But those aren't necessarily the songs that received the most radio airplay overall! This week, we take a look at the Hebrew songs that were heard most often on all radio stations in Israel in 5782...and the results may surprise you! (Original Air Date: October 9, 2022)

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)

Our August Chagigot are in full swing, and this week, we'll do our best to help you wake and smell the coffee (or tea) with our Chagigat Shirei Cafe V'teh! Israelis are obsessed with their coffee, and clearly love to sing about it. Thanks to our wonderful community, we've come up with an hour of songs about coffee, tea, and the places you drink it. And while you're listening, think about our question of the week: what's your favorite coffee shop in Israel, and what are you ordering when you get there?

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)

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)

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)
