Chavah Messianic Radio

Shalom friends, I hope you all had a great Passover week. As we enter into Shabbat, I've added some fresh new music to the station: Shilo Ben Hod - Ad HaYom (Until Today) Shilo is an Israeli worship leader who was kind enough to give us permission to play his music on Chavah. This is his first album -- a rich, vibrant, Hebrew gospel-filled album -- and he's currently working on his second album. He's also raising funds for his new album : you can help him out and receive the new album as a gift. You can follow Shilo over on Facebook , and purchase his music over at iTunes . Enjoy the beautiful Hebrew music for Messiah, friends! An early shabbat shalom to you all.

Shalom friends and an early Happy Passover to you all! To celebrate, here's a new album from Jews and Arabs in the Holy Land, coming together to exalt King Messiah - it's awesome! Israeli and Arabic Artists - Kol Koreh (The Voice of One Calling) קול קורא The Voice of One Calling is the joining of Hebrew and Arabic voices in unified worship and adoration, to prepare the way for the coming King. Some awesome praises in both Hebrew and Arabic, including new takes on old Messianic favorites like "Lift Up Your Heads". Listening to this new album, it's upbeat and full of life, dynamic. A blend of a modern sound set to Middle Eastern instruments. It's an awesome praise to the King in a unique unity between Hebrew and Arab believers. Friends, I encourage you to checkout their ministry, Dor Haba (The Next Generation) . They have a heart for unity between Jews and Arabs in Messiah. And they do that primarily through ministry and music - what a blessing! En...

Shalom holy friends, and an early shabbat shalom to you. I hope you're surviving the pandemic and we pray it passes soon. We've added to the station fresh new Messianic music from Israel for your holy enjoyment: Sheli Myers & Congregation Shemen Sasson - Yigdal Adonai This is a live music album recorded in Jerusalem, featuring Sheli Myers and her congregation, Shemen Sasson (Oil of Joy). Sheli Myers has produced a great deal of music for the Lord, I know her from her song, "Adonai Ahuvi", and singing that one at my own congregation. Myers and her congregation describes this new album: True worship is one of the core values of Shemen Sasson. The Father is seeking those who worship Him "in Spirit and in Truth" (John 4:23). True worship doesn't just happen once a week in a service, but saturates every part of our life. Over the last 20 years, Shemen Sasson has been blessed to build up a worship department, in which worship is presented ...

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....

Shalom friends, We've added some fresh new music to the station for your holy pleasure: Teshuva - Hallel This is Teshuva's 3rd album -- the previous two, Return and The First Five , have been well-received by Chavah fans. I suspect this new album, which is features songs from Psalm 113-118, will bring you all joy in uplifting praise. Enjoy, friends!

Shalom friends, 10 years ago, on February 16th 2010, we announced in a humble blog post the very first version of Chavah: I’m really excited to show you guys something I worked on over the last few days: Chavah – Internet Radio For Yeshua’s Disciples It works on both Windows and Mac, right in your web browser. (Depending on how old your computer is, it may need to install a small Flash-like plug-in called Microsoft Silverlight. After that, you’re home free.) If you’ve ever used the Pandora.com music service, this is in the same vein. In fact, Pandora is the inspiration for Chavah. Give it a try! Hope you like it, and please let me know about any problems in the comments. Yes, it really looked like that. I'm reminded of the saying, "Do not despise humble beginnings!" Because the web was still in its early days, we used Silverlight plugin technology to play MP3 audio. (Back then, most web browsers couldn't natively play MP3s - amazing how far we've c...
