Chavah Messianic Radio

Shalom holy friends,

We've added fresh Messianic Jewish music from Israel on the station:

Various Artists - Praises of Israel תהילות ישראל


This new album is recorded live in Israel and features some of the top recording artists in the Israeli Messianic community, including Yaron Cherniak, Sarah Liberman, Sheli Myers, Birgitta Lundvall, Jamie Hilsden, and many more.

Here's how our friends at the Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel describe the album:

Praises of Israel is a live recording of 13 Messianic songs performed at a public Concert in Jerusalem, May 2019. It is in continuation of the well-known series “Praise to Our God” albums.
The name of the concert and CD is based on the verse “But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel. (Psalms 22:3).
What a blessing to know that God, the Holy Creator of the universe, is enthroned on the praises of His people – He alone is worthy of all our worship!
The album in your hands is the blessed fruit of the labor of many skillful and…

Shalom friends,

Shalom Chavah fans,

I'm excited to announce our good friend Ted Pearce has released a new 5-song EP and graciously granted us permission to play it on Chavah. Have a listen!

Ted Pearce - Shehekiyanu

Ted Pearce needs no introduction - his music is some of the highest rated on Chavah, with several songs in the top 70 ranked songs on Chavah. I'm listening to this new music now and there's a great deal of musical joy here - just as the album name, Shehekiyanu, implies.
Shehekiyanu שהחינו is a Hebrew word meaning, "Who has given us life", and it most well known in the Jewish blessings of the same name, in which we thank God for bringing us to the current seasons:
Baruch atah Adonai ברוך אתה אדוניEloheinu melech ha'olam אלהינו מלך העולםShehekiyanu v'kiymanu שהחינו וקימנוV'higianu lazman hazeh והגיענו לזמן הזהBlessed are You, AdonaiOur God, King of the UniverseWho has granted us life, sustained usAnd enabled us to reach this season
The first song on the EP is,…

Shalom Chavah fans,

We've rolled out a classic Messianic Jewish album on the station:

Nell Zier - Liberty



I've found this album to be right up the alley in the classic Messianic genre: orchestral, group-singing in the vein of Kol Simcha or Liberated Wailing Wall. Above that, there's a sense of God's spirit speaking through these old tunes. Nell describes her album like this:

A spectacular production of elegant Jewish-style music with nostalgic lyrics of yearning for the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem.
I think you'll enjoy this album, fine Chavah fans. You can support Messiah's musicians by purchasing this album over at NellZier.com.

Enjoy the new music for Messiah!

Shalom Chavah fans and a happy 2020 to you, friends.

We just rolled out a new much-requested feature on Chavah: you can now undo a like or a dislike. Undoing a like will remove the song from your likes list. Here's how it works:

If you like a song, we show the thumb-up icon in gold color:

(Ditto for dislike, except the gold-colored thing will be the thumb-down button.)
Previously, once you liked a song, you couldn't un-like it. Sure, you could thumb-it down, but that not only un-likes the song, but dislikes it, which reduces its ranking and informs Chavah not to play it for you. (And, decreases the chances the song will be played for other listeners.)
With this new feature, just click the "thumb-up" button again and it will undo your like. Now the song is in neutral state for you; neither liked nor disliked:

Just tap the thumb-up a second time to undo your like. The same works for thumb-down; you can tap thumb-down a second time to undo your dislike of a song.
Enjoy!

Hanukkah joy: celebrating the reality that God's House, the Temple in Jerusalem, was rededicated to God.
The Temple was of prime importance to the people of God throughout the Scriptures: King David said he wouldn't rest until he'd find a place for the Temple. Solomon prayed amidst the shouts and praises of Levites in the Temple and the glory of God filled it. The book of Leviticus is about maintaining the sanctity and holiness of the Temple. The prophets warned the people against desecrating God's House by their actions. Yeshua called the Temple "My Father's House", said it will be a house of prayer for all nations. The disciples view the prophetic psalm, "Zeal for Your House consumes me" to Yeshua. The disciples were found in the Temple daily praising God, even post-resurrection.
This beautiful Hebrew rendition of Psalm 116 starts slow and then ramps up the joy in the ending half as it celebrates the worship of God in the Temple in Jerusalem:
