his week on the first segment of The Jewish Radio Hour, Rochelle Zucker features a new release by Yale Strom and Hot Pstromi called The Wolf and the Lamb - Live at the Shakh.  It was recorded live in the historic and  revered Shakh Synagogue of Holešov, Czech Republic.Yale Strom is a violinist, composer, and one of the world's leading ethnographer-artists of klezmer music and history. His extensive ethnographic research in Eastern Europe plays an integral part in forming the repertoire of his klezmer band Hot Pstromi. " While the songs within draw strongly from klezmer traditions, in line with the band’s origins, an innate musical and, indeed, societal curiosity reveals some surprising secrets of the past.  By blending the old and original, Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi create something bold and unique. Much like the Jewish communities of Europe forged new bonds and friendships with neighbours through trade and cultural exchange, it shows that exploration can lead to greater things and enrich the lives of many. " (ARC Music)

The Jewish music world lost an important voice.  Lori Cahan-Simon passed away on July 28th. Both segments of today's show are dedicated to her memory. Lori was a singer, an artist and a teacher.  Her diverse repertoire  knew no bounds, encompassing a wide range of genres such as Yiddish and Klezmer tunes, classic American standards, R&B, blues, ballads and rock ‘n’ roll.  However, in the context of the Jewish Radio Hour, her important work was in meticulously researching and recording Yiddish yontev songs.  Her recordings have been the mainstay of many of our shows - especially for Peysakh and Khanike.  Rochelle has selected a collection of her music.  Even though Khanuke is months away, she has decided to include several songs for that holiday as they epitomize the joy and the spirit of Lori and her music. 

Condolences to her family and friends.  May Her Memory Be a Blessing - Koved Ir Ondenk

On the Yiddish sement, Rochelle presents songs from what she considers a truly remarkable Yiddish recording Yerushalayim Shtot Fun Gold - Ale Lider fun Di Zeks teg    (Jerusalem of Gold - All the Songs of the Six Day War) performed by David Eshet.  The words provide an interesting insight into the times.  But the most striking thing is that the recording was made in Israel in 1967, in Yiddish at a time when the Israeli government had a completely negative attitude to the Yiddish language and very strongly discouraged people from using it.   Playlist (All Performed by David EshetLakh Zikh OysA Brivele Tsu NaserA Durkh in Oysgus Fun TiranSharm el SheikHalt Mir Dem Finger MazldikRabeynu GorenYerushalayim Shtot Fun GoldTsu Sholem Mir Shtrebn
