 Episode #1135: A Season of New Beginnings | File Type: audio/x-mp3 | Duration: 1:05:15

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?

Our look back into the best Israeli music of the past Jewish year continues!

 Episode #1129: Cray Cray | File Type: audio/x-mp3 | Duration: 1:04:49

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!

 Episode #1128: The Best Part of Waking Up | File Type: audio/x-mp3 | Duration: 1:03:47

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?

 Episode #1127: Shalom, Tzvika | File Type: audio/x-mp3 | Duration: 1:05:52

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) Full playlist at https://www.myisraelimusic.com/episode1127 Love the show?

 Episode #1126: Sad Songs Say So Much | File Type: audio/x-mp3 | Duration: 1:02:25

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!

 Episode #1124: Comfort Through Music | File Type: audio/x-mp3 | Duration: 1:00:03

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.

 Episode #1121: Singing the Praises of Jerusalem | File Type: audio/x-mp3 | Duration: 1:01:22

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.

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.
