Presenting the one and only YAEL NAIM! The Israeli/French singing superstar talks to us about her unexpected success, her cool new viral video, her upcoming shows in the USA and more!

We try NEVER to get political on your favorite Israeli music show, but we feel obligated to pay homage to the new POTUS with the only appropriate song we could find. Plus – more on the great Israeli concerts touring the USA, incredible new Israeli music, a Hebrew tribute to the late Leonard Cohen…and more!

We continue our look back at Israeli music in 5776, feature the top Israeli songs of the past week, take a look at the amazing Israeli concerts touring the United States, and try out Facebook live for the first time – all on this action-packed edition of Israel Hour Radio!

We were expecting to speak with Yael Naim, but we weren’t able to connect. Instead, we continue our wrap up of 5776 in review, with more of the year’s best music…PLUS the top three songs of the new year (so far)!
