Washington Jewish Radio

Hi Everybody!! Another great edition of the program is up on the website for your enjoyment.  Since we have two holidays this week on the calendar we split this week’s program into two halves. The first half has music for Yom Yerushalayim, celebrating the unification of the city of Jerusalem that occurred during the Six Day War in 1967. The second half of the program has special music for Memorial Day, including many vintage radio recordings from the World War II years which are very poignant to listen to today and are most appropriate as we observe Memorial Day. Ben and I hope you enjoy the program and we appreciate your support!! We remind you to be our ambassadors. Spread the good word about the program and forward the website to everyone you can!! Have a great week!!
