Israel Hour Radio - Israeli Music Podcast

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)

The weeks after Passover are an emotional roller coaster in Israel, taking us on a gut-wrenching journey from the lowest depths to the highest highs. It all begins this week with Yom HaShoa - Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day to remind us of the greatest tragedy the Jewish people have suffered in history. While the day will be marked by Holocaust programs around the world, there's something very special about the way it's observed in Israel - in art, literature, film, television, and especially music. Join us this week for an Israeli musical response to the Shoa -enabling us to NEVER FORGET. (Original Air Date: April 24, 2022)

In their most famous song, Kaveret sang 'tovim ha'shnayim min ha'echad' - two are better than one'. Ain't that the truth?

Grab a friend and listen together! (Original Air Date: February 20, 2022)

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)
