    Episode #1229: A Pre-Eurovision Party!
    May 11 2025
    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) Full YouTube playlist at https://tinyurl.com/mr4xrtbv Love the show?

    Episode #1228: 77 Never Sounded So Good
    May 4 2025
    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) Full YouTube playlist at https://tinyurl.com/yc66xt58 Love the show?

    Episode #1227: Sounds of Pain for Yom HaZikaron
    Apr 27 2025
    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.

    Episode #1226: The Holiday of Freedom?
    Apr 6 2025
    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.

    Episode #1225: Can I Have An 'Amen'?
    Mar 30 2025
    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!' This is not, of course, a new phenomenon. 'Amen' is a word that often comes up in Israeli music as well. Off the top of your head, many of you can likely come up with a few right off the bat. 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) Full YouTube playlist at https://tinyurl.com/2zrxw5sb Love the show?

    Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present Israel's official entry to Eurovision 2025, "New Day Will Rise" by Yuval Rafael. And while we're at it, it's been a while since we've done an hour of Israeli Eurovision songs, so let's do that today, shall we? But this time, we're going to skip the beloved Israeli classics from the 70s and 80s, focusing instead on our entries over the past 25 years, since 2000. With a lot of big hits and even a few misses, you're sure to hear some songs you haven't heard in a while...for better or for worse. What's your all-time favorite Israeli Eurovision entry?
