We like to make the claim that ‘we’re building a stronger Israel, one song at a time.’ But c’mon…how does listening to random Israeli songs REALLY create a stronger Israel? We’ll explain. Also: meet Eden Alene, the Ethiopian-Israeli recently selected to represent Israel in Eurovision 2020! We’ll discuss her reality TV victory, and meet the runners-up. PLUS: Static and Ben-El are making progress in their international career…Netta Barzilai releases (another) very odd new song…and brand new Israeli music by Eyal Golan, Idan Amedi, Ishay Ribo, and many more! (Original air date: 2/16/20)
