Want to create a stronger connection with the land of Israel? Israeli music will bring you closer to Israel than ever before. For more than 25 years, Josh Shron...
We all know - all too well - that the past 17 months have been painful and emotional to say the least. But with Purim on the way, it's a good time to allow ourselves to smile and laugh. Purim reminds us that sometimes, when life looks as dark as can be, the most incredible miracles suddenly come to life. That things are not always what they seem. That life can change dramatically at the drop of a hat. So this Purim, we're giving ourselves permission to LAUGH by sharing humorous Israeli songs along with some great Israel-related stand-up comedy. Join us for a fun hour, and be prepared to leave happy! (Original Air Date: March 9, 2025)

Episode #1219: We Are Family
The news cycle has so many ups and downs these days, that it can be hard to remember the specific highs and lows. Back on February 8, 2025, Hamas released three hostages: Ohad Ben Ami, Eli Sharabi, and Or Levy. Sure, we were overjoyed that they were back home with their families, but we felt downright sick upon seeing their emaciated bodies and pained expressions. As we try to process these emotions...it's suddenly time to go on the air. What could we possibly play during a time like this? Well, songs about family seemed especially appropriate. At a time when family means more than ever, let's hold our loved ones close and get ready for a variety of Israeli songs about our fathers, mothers, siblings, children, even aunts and uncles. Then, take a breath and await tomorrow's news. (Original Air Date: February 9, 2025)

Episode #1217: New Israeli Music - January 2025
We've had a big 30th anniversary celebration, devoted a show to 'counting down' to the new year, and celebrated our first hostages coming home. So what haven't we done lately? Share new Israeli music. Well, let's rectify that today, shall we? This week, we present the most popular Israeli songs of the past few weeks, many of which reflect the challenging times in which we continue to find ourselves. You'll hear songs of joy over the release of hostages, songs of survival during these difficult times, and of course, plain ol' Israeli love songs. We'll also meet Yuval Refael, Israel's brave representative to Eurovision 2025. All in all, an emotional, inspirational, entertaining, and uplifting musical experience. Don't miss it!

Episode #1216: Homeward Bound
The day we recorded this podcast was a pivotal day in the State of Israel. After 471 days in captivity, the first Israeli hostages were finally released from the dungeons of Gaza - and Emily, Doron, and Romi were finally on their way home. With the freedom of our hostages, and the simultaneous release of countless terrorists, it was an emotional day, to say the least. There was little we could do but play songs about 'home', amidst tears and smiles over the powerful images we were watching on TV. With wishes for more good news, we present to you an hour of music that part prayer, part celebration. (Original Air Date: January 19, 2025)
