Sign-in with Chavah: Persona shut-off and the new Chavah v3

-

Shalom friends!

Right now when you sign-in to Chavah, you’ll get a scary red message about “persona.org shutting down”:

image

Yikes!

Some of you have asked what this means. Well, good news and bad news:

  • The good news is: Chavah is doing great, and certainly not shutting down, of course! SmileChavah is more popular than ever, with several thousand listeners and a growing library of music for Messiah.
  • The bad news is: the sign-in technology we’re using, Mozilla Persona, is shutting down.

What this means is, you won’t be able to sign-in to Chavah after Novermber 30th unless we release the new version of Chavah. The new version of Chavah, Chavah v3, doesn’t use Persona, and will let you sign in with your existing email address.

We’re working super hard every day trying to get Chavah v3 done before the November 30th deadline!

Bottom line:

  • Chavah will continue working no matter what. Smile
  • Signing-in to Chavah will stop working on November 30th. Crying face
  • The next version of Chavah, v3, will let you sign in using your email address, without using the dying Persona service. Hot smile
  • We’re scrambling to finish Chavah v3 before November 30th, so that you’ll still be able to sign in.Party smile

Please pray for us in getting Chavah v3 done! We think it’s an awesome version with some super cool new features and social interactions that amplify Messiah and his music.

We’ll have another post here in a week or two to get an update on the status of the new Chavah v3 as the November 30th deadline approaches.

    With this new version, will our existing music saves going to remain or will we lose them?

      Your existing music saves will remain.

      Just sign in with the same email address you're using now.

    I just ran across this site tonight....WHAT A HUGE BLESSING! I would like to suggest....ok, I am an alumni of Last Days Ministries...fair enough to say there is some bias.... but still, I would love to see Keith Green included in your selection. He was Jewish by ancestry, and most definitely a "Messianic Jew".....

      I love Keith Green. I'd be delighted to add his music to the station, provided his wife (and any copyright holders) permit.

    Here listening on Dec.1 - am I listening to "Chavah 3"? Do I need to sign out and then sign back in, or is all well as it is (it sounds as great as ever, BTW)?

      Chavah 3 looks very different than Chavah 2. :-) You'll know it when you see it, but it is published live as of late last night. :-)

Aviad Cohen has passed away

Friends, I’m saddened to announce that Messianic musician Aviad Cohen has passed away yesterday, according to a Facebook post from his family. I knew Aviad for many years; he contributed his music to Chavah years ago, and before that, I knew him through my younger brother when the two of them met in person by chance in Jerusalem. Aviad produced 4 albums for God, including 3 techno albums and 1 Scripture reading album: Hooked on the Truth Firestarter Good News to Mission Control Scripturesonics Vol. 1: The Good News Aviad’s last album, Scripturesonics, is a stirring Scripture reading album set to orchestral music. It’s my personal favorite. Aviad made big splashes when he, as a conservative Jew and rapper known as 50 Shekel , came to belief in Yeshua as Israel’s messiah . His public conversion made him a target for anti-missionaries and Jews who considered his belief in Yeshua to be a betrayal of Judaism. At the time of this writing, it's not clear how Aviad died. One friend says...

Rick Coghill, Messianic music pioneer, diagnosed with cancer

Shalom Chavah fans, I wanted to pass on to you the news of the cancer diagnosis of Rick Coghill , early Messianic music pioneer with the group Lamb: The post reads, Dear Fans and Friends of LAMB, (Picture taken in 1973) Please keep my 20-year partner in Lamb, Rick Coghill, in your prayers. He recently contracted liver cancer and is in hospice with not much time left here on this earth. A brilliant producer and guitarist, his contribution to the Messianic movement through Lamb was priceless. Pray that his passing is peaceful and that the comfort of God permeates all around him. Ps. 23:4 – Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. I consider Lamb to be the pioneer of Messianic music, having produced several albums in the 1970s, trailblazing the genre of Jewish music for Messiah. Personally, I grew up listening to their music and still love it to this day. Their music is some ...
