Chavah Messianic Radio

Fresh new music for Messiah straight from Tel Aviv: Miqedem - Vol. II This new album, Volume II, is fresh off the presses - released just days ago. I was a financial backer of this new album because I know their music is reaching new audiences in Israel and the nations. It's stirring hearts for Messiah, even my own.

I was fortunate to worship with them and meet them just days ago - photos below. Afterwards I spoke with lead singer Jamie Hilsden about playing this new album on Chavah Messianic Radio, and he said, "Yes! Go for it!" (Thanks Jamie!) (Here’s a few shots of me with the band!)

That’s the super-simplified version of the truth. The fine grained details I explain below. Chavah plays songs she thinks you’ll like Unlike traditional AM/FM radio, Chavah plays a unique stream for each user . That means Judah in Minnesota is hearing Marty Goetz – V’ne Emar , while Jesse in Chicago is hearing Miqedem – Hine Eloheinu . Two users, tw...
