Hi everybody!! Hope you had a very happy Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is very special on Washington Jewish Radio. It was Mother’s Day, 1980 when “The Jewish Music Hall” first went on the air. And we are now, 32 years later, still bringing great Jewish music to you, now around the world on the net!!
The Mother’s Day show is a great one, featuring some of the world’s most famous entertainment personalities in rare music from a bygone era. And the same time, Ben and Matt bring the same message of Mother’s Day with new and exciting music. And during the show, Ben and Matt will pay tribute to their mother, Shari and I will pay tribute to my mother, Roslyn Shor (1936-2001) of blessed memory. So I hope you enjoy it!!
