Listen Here: Joshua Aaron Interview
Today I had the privilege of having Joshua Aaron with me in the studio. I had such an amazing time and of course I love his music so much!
Here's some info:
Joshua Aaron is an award winning, Messianic Jewish singer and
songwriter. He maintains citizenship with both the nations of Israel and
the United States of America. Since the release of his first live CD,
"Bo Yeshua" (2009) Joshua's music has grown to an international level,
with as many as 3 million YouTube views of his music videos.
His 2012 release "You Are Holy" won him two Independent Music Awards
for his original songs, "Hoshiana" and "You Are Holy" while his latest
CD release "Hu Yavo" (July, 2014) soars to new heights, continuing to
powerfully connect both the church and Israel through music.
Joshua travels in a full time capacity, sharing God's good news
through Hebraic worship, powerful testimony and Biblical teaching...
proclaiming a message of hope in Yeshua, a love for the Jewish people
and a desire for the return of the Messiah. His connection to the
Messianic movement dates back to 1976 when his mother (an Israeli-born
Jew) accepted Messiah after hearing a message by the late Martin
Chernoff on "the Jewishness of Jesus."

Kira Shcherbakova Interview
Listen here:
Kira Shcherbakova Interview
Recently a friend connected me to Kira Shcherbakova and I discovered another wonderful singer for Yeshua!
Here is her story in her own words:
"I was born in Kiev, Ukraine and moved to the United States with my family at the age of ten. I learned English within a few months and began dreaming of becoming a famous, professional singer.
I went to different venues, asking to sing, but got rejected every time. One restaurant owner even said, "My worst singers are better than you."
It was heartbreaking!
One day, I got invited to sing at a Mother's Day church concert, to which I said, "I'm Jewish. I can't go into a church."
The women persisted. however, and I changed my mind. This was an opportunity to sing, after all. (Hey, they're Jewish. What did you expect? We're very persistent!)
When I got there, I was surprised to see all the normal people having normal fun. I decided to keep coming and eventually joined the worship team. While doing some vocal exercises that the worship team leader gave me, I noticed a drastic difference in my voice.
Suddenly, people started telling me how blessed they are by my voice and songs and began to invite me to sing at different venues.
After much consideration, I decided to leave my full-time job and follow God full-time through this music ministry.
God showed me that He gave me this voice and He wants me to use it for Him. And that's what I'm doing."
I hope you enjoy the interview and her music!

Jonathan Cahn Speech to the UN
Listen Here: Jonathan Cahn Speech to the UN
Today's show features wonderful music and a chance to hear Jonathan Cahn's wonderful speech to the UN.
Rabbi Cahn participated in a Panel discussion at the United Nation on Friday, April 17th. The purpose of the panel was to shine the light on the rising concern of radical, jihadist Islam, particularly the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
This historic event was the first time that a Messianic Jewish Rabbi was welcomed to the halls of the United Nations and given the opportunity to speak with the voice of a Jewish Believer in Yeshua.
Rabbi Jonathan is the leader of Beth Israel Messianic Congregation in Wayne, New Jersey and has been well known throughout the Messianic Jewish movement for many years. He has a worldwide following within the Messianic Movement, due to his teachings, as well as his international radio and television programs.
Over the past few years because of the release of the Harbinger and the Mystery of the Shemitah more people outside of the Messianic Movement have become aware of Rabbi Cahn and he has had the opportunity to speak to a wider audience including speaking at the Inauguration prayer breakfast in Washington DC.

Mary and Jim Quinn - a comical look at marriage
To listen click here:
This was one of the most enjoyable interviews ever! What a fun couple! Great music and a great chat about marriage!
Jim and Mary Quinn are members of Congregation Shema Yisrael in Rochester, New York. The Quinns grew up in Webster, New York, met in high school but didn't date until fourteen years later. Jim was raised Catholic and neither had a close relationship with the Lord. Mary always knew there was a God and gave her heart to Yeshua when she was fourteen. She always felt a special love for the Jewish people.
It took Jim a bit longer to give up his worldly ways, and it took nearly dying in the hospital from drugs and alcohol for him to realize that he needed the Lord. With Mary's help, he turned his life over to Yeshua in April, 1984. Years later, Jim learned of his Jewish roots and once he visited a Messianic congregation he knew, he had found what was missing in his life.
The couple has been together for 31 years, raised two beautiful daughters, and live on a beautiful farm in the Rochester, New York area. Mary retired from teaching art after 38 years, and Jim is currently teaching art at Nazareth College, occasionally displaying his magnificent paintings in local galleries, and playing guitar with the worship team at Shema Yisrael.
Jim and Mary have a unique and comical look at married life and have lots to share about the joys, wonders and challenges of marriage.

Really Cool Music
Listen here:
Shalom! Hope you're doing well! Today's show was pretty laid back. I was grooving to the sounds of Sharon Wilbur, Joel Chernoff, Rachel Washington, Jonathan Settel, Natasha Kraus-Reynolds, Nate Benjamin and Paul Wilbur, not necessarily in that order. I have to say, when you hear wonderful praise music like this you just can't be depressed -- the words, the music, the rhythms - they all take you to a better place, where God is still on the throne and prayer changes things!
Got a sweet call from my BFF, Diane Beaudoin, and she shared how the Lord healed and strengthened her family.
Hope you will be blessed!
Every day of your life is an opportunity to be a blessing to someone!
Shalom,
Ethel

Mandie Greenberg Interview
Click here to listen:
Wow, this was a fun interview! Mandie is a "little ball of fire" and loves Yeshua! You'll hear all about her faith journey and also enjoy the music of Jonathan Settel, Nate Benjamin, Lamb and Joshua Aaron!
Mandie Greenberg was born in Rochester, New York and grew up in a Messianic Italian-Jewish home where her father was a Messianic Rabbi of a Congregation in Syracuse, New York. After a childhood of congregational ministry by association, Mandie showed a pension for music and was added to her congregation's worship team at the tender age of 14.
By the time she was 17, she was a senior worship leader. After graduating high school in 2007, Mandie took time off of schooling to discover her life's true calling. It was in 2010 that she was given the opportunity to serve with Jews for Jesus as a Mobile Musical Evangelist with their experimental band - Blue Mosaic. After a year of touring and evangelism, she came off the road and returned to congregational ministry alongside her family. During her time on tour, God had been at work with her mother, Daniah Greenberg, bringing about the Tree of Life Version translation of the Bible. Mandie joined the staff of the Messianic Jewish Family Bible Society in late 2011 and ever since, she has felt a distinct calling to theology.
After 7 years out of the educational system, Mandie returned to school by enrolling in Bible college to get her degree in Messianic Jewish theology with the goal of becoming one of the Messianic Community's female theology professors. Currently, she is enjoying classes while being in ministry at Congregation Beth Aliyah in Rome, Georgia and working as an administrator for the Messianic Jewish Family Bible Society.
