Happy 66th Birthday, Israel!

Yom Haatzmaut 5

Dear Radio Free Nachlaot Family, Friends and Fans,

From the heart of Jerusalem, Israel's eternal capital, we wish you a Chag Yom haAtzmaut Sameach - happy Independence Day to the modern State of Israel - 66 years young this week!

Of course "Israel" as a nation is thousands of years old, but the modern Jewish State is a mere baby in terms of years. It's kind of astonishing to think about who else, along with Israel, was born in 1948, including actors Samuel L. Jackson, Billy Crystal, Jeremy Irons, Barbara Hershey, Kathy Bates, Christopher Guest, Bud Cort, Margot Kidder, and Dianne Wiest. Also born in 1948 were performers Olivia Newton-John, Jackson Browne, Alice cooper, Stephen Tyler, Grace Jones, Stevie Nicks, Ozzy Ozborne, and Robert Plant.

We point out these comparisons just for perspective, to illustrate the youthfulness of modern Israel, and just how short a time we've been back in our ancient Homeland.

"Ashraynu," how fortunate, how blessed, how "lucky" are we to have the unbelievable privilege to be able to be in the Holy Land, and to bring our world-wide listening audience the best music, talk & Torah 24/6 from Jerusalem, for going on four-and-a-half consecutive years now. Gevaldt! :)

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing this 66th Yom HaAtzmaut, we hope you had plenty of time to listen to our special Israeli Independence Day programming, featuring songs from Israel's early days and founding years through the present day. It was very special for us to be able to program this show for you!

L'kavod Yom HaAtzmaut, here is a gift from our good friend Bruce Burger - "RebbeSoul", one of our favorite featured artists on our "Israeli Soul Afternoon" show

AM YISRAEL CHAI

66 Years of Israel - Our 55th Broadcast Month

yom haatzmout pic 66

We (that would be "us," Steve Levine and Lorelai Kude) started Radio Free Nachlaot in late November 2009, from the original "Undisclosed Studio A" and "Undisclosed Studio B" in Nachlaot, Jerusalem's coolest neighborhood.

For the last 55 months, we've broken every piggy bank we've ever owned to personally underwrite and support the costs of programming "the best music, talk & Torah" and broadcasting our Internet Radio stream 24/6 (excluding Shabbos & Chaggim) to our world-wide listening audience, averaging 92 countries per month. (CLICK HERE TO HELP US!)

We've been listener-supported Internet Radio with some occasional sponsorships (for which we're extremely grateful to all who have sponsored and all who have given to us, and if you want to give right now before you read another word, CLICK HERE ). We've never been COMMERCIAL radio - because that's not what YOU want, and it's not what WE want. It should be obvious to everyone now that RFN is a labor of love - because why else would we put ourselves through the rigors of 24/6 broadcasting (between two computers) for the last 55 months?
