Special radio show
(your daily dose follows)
 
 
Another way to increase your Hebrew knowledge
is to get to know Hebrew music and lyrics.
 
Today (Wednesday), I’m doing a special radio show about Hebrew music pertinent to the Jewish traditional mourning period called “the three weeks.”
 
 
 
Some songs I’ll present and discuss are:
וְהִיא שֶׁעָמְדָה (veh-HEE sheh-AHM-dah) by Yonatan Razel
מִנְעִי קוֹלֵך (meen-EE koh-LEKH) by The Idan Raichel Project
מְחַכֶּה (meh-khah-KEH) by Rita
and many more.
 
 
Tune in today at noon Israel time!
