Maurice Klein speaks with Josh Shron, Israeli music expert and radio personality, host of Israel Hour Radio, a weekly radio show and podcast devoted to Israel music and culture. Since 1994 Josh has made it his mission to help English speakers around the world develop a stronger connection with Israeli music, "building a stronger Israel one song at a time".  For weeks after October 7, Israelis have felt nearly every painful emotion, grief and sorrow, guilt, anger, shock, disbelief, and just about everything in between. At the same time however, Israelis quickly united in their strong resolve to restore security to the country and bring home their hostages. Soon a whole new set of emotions took hold, pride, strength, unity, hope, optimism, and so much more. Days after the attack, Israel's leading singers began releasing some of Israel's most meaningful songs in recent memory, helping everyone cope with the roller coaster of emotions. How is music helping Israelis heal from this unspeakable tragedy? With his new presentation program, Josh takes you on a deep dive into the songs released in the weeks after October 7 helping us connect to the vibe of Israel in one of its ongoing darkest hours. Hear the songs, watch the videos, and be inspired by the remarkable spirit of Israel in the 90-minute program A Musical Hug From Israel. Josh Shron with the Israeli singers will pull your heart in a million directions.
