Hi Everybody!! Another great edition of the program is up on the website for your enjoyment!! A great regular edition of the program filled with the finest in vintage and modern Jewish music, culled from our family archive of over 110 years of great recordings!! Now that we are in the Three Weeks we make some changes to the program. There will be no Comedy Corner and more music of introspection and reflection, as is fitting in these somber days. It’s a most appropriate program and Ben and I hope you will enjoy it!! We also appreciate you spreading the good word about Washington Jewish Radio by forwarding the website to everyone you can!! Here is the line-up for this week’s program:

After military service in World War II as a Chaplain, he served several congregations in the New York area for many decades. He passed away in 2002.
