New music: Zachary Bruno - Dawn Light

Image
Shalom dear Chavah listeners, New music on the station for your joyful encouragement.  Zachary Bruno - Dawn Light This album is created by a friend of the station and talented young man, Zachary Bruno. I met Zach at Proclaim Messianic Music Festival  a few years ago and was blown away by the beautiful, stirring piano instrumentals he uses to glorify God. This album reflects that beauty. It received critical acclaim as well, being named piano solo's album of the year when it was released. Enjoy this special, beautiful music for the King, dear friends.

A very special treat for you that's 76 years in the making: Adat Yehudim Meshichim - Erev Shabbat Melodies, Jerusalem 1948 All but one of these melodies were composed in 1948 by the community Adat Meshichim Yehudim, the Congregation of Messianic Jews in Jerusalem, headed by Messianic pioneers Abram Poljak and Pauline Rose. These special, original melodies were recently performed on the piano by Megan Wallace of Beth Immanuel. These fine folks gave us permission to play on Chavah for your holy pleasure.  Enjoy this special treat to brighten your shabbat, fine Chavah fans!

Dear Chavah listeners,  I occasionally receive mail from you all thanking me for Chavah. It's a bright spot in my week when I read them. Neil & Pam C. sent me this letter recently along with a donation: Judah, "Thanks" is not enough for your labor in producing and maintaining Chavah. Truly a labor of love for Adonai and His followers. Blessings + Shalom, Neil + Pam Neil & Pam, this brought a huge smile to my face. Thank you! I'm glad Chavah is a blessing to you both. If there's any good here, it's credited to the King. Thanks for this kind letter of encouragement! I put your donation into Messiah's Music Fund for distribution to the artists on Chavah. 💖 Now, back to work, but with a smile on my face.

Chavah 2.1 for iOS now available

Image
I'm glad to report we've deployed a new version of  Chavah app for iOS just this morning. You might ask, "Didn't you just deploy a new version of Chavah for iOS last month?" Yes, we did , and then Apple promptly shipped a new version of iOS, 17.2.1, that broke Chavah . Specifically, if Chavah was in the background, or if your phone screen was locked, Chavah wouldn't play the next song. This was a bug introduced by Apple for all web-based audio apps like Chavah. We've reported the issue to Apple and do hope it'll be fixed soon. In the meantime, today we shipped a new version of Chavah that works around Apple's bug. So, if you have an iPhone and you listen to Chavah, grab the latest version of Chavah from the App Store. With it, you'll be able to play songs regardless of whether Chavah is in the background.
