Marty Blume has passed away from coronavirus

-

Friends,

I'm shocked and deeply saddened to report that, Marty Blume, a dear friend of the station and long-time supporter of Chavah, has passed away from coronavirus. His wife is raising funds for his funeral and burial.

Marty helped us get Chavah Messianic Radio off the ground, contributed on the admin side of Chavah, helped us acquire the necessary licenses to legally play music on the web, and was a creative mind for helping Messiah's musicians financially.

He was a friend to so many in the Messianic movement. I remember meeting the Miqedem music group a few years ago. I was showing them Chavah Messianic Radio on my phone, when bandmember Shai Sol replied, "Wait - are you friends with Marty Blume? He showed me this!"

Coronavirus has been impersonal up until now. Deaths and sickeness happened to other people. Now it's hit close to home. I'm shocked. And I'm sad for his family, sad that he's gone.

May the Lord raise him up in that day.

The Lord commanded us to help widows and orphans; now is the time. Please donate to his widow's fundraiser here.

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

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
