Shalom Portland Radio Show Debuts
September 5, 2009
Starting Friday September 25th, at 11am on KBOO Community Radio 90.7 fm
Shalom Portland brings to KBOO Community Radio local, national, and international issues from a variety of Jewish perspectives. Your host for Shalom Portland is Ed Kraus.
Shalom Portland is new for KBOO, separate from the long-running Portland Yiddish Hour. This new program is a public affairs show, bringing news and current events to radio from Jewish perspectives. Ed is starting Shalom Portland so that political and current events features don’t distract the Yiddish Hour from its world music and cultural format. He will continue to host the Sunday morning Yiddish Hour along with Liz Schwartz, Barry Lavine, and long-time hosts Jack (Yankl) Falk and Reva Falk.
In this pilot program the legal and political challenges of water scarcity for resolving the Israel/Palestine conflict are discussed by international water law expert Gabriel Eckstein, who serves as a neutral advisor to the Geneva Initiative process. Holocaust survivor and artist Alice Lok Cahana tells a story about the inspiration for her ceramic Torah scroll sculptures, and Imam Mamadou Toure’s words at the memorial service for Portland’s Rabbi Aryeh Hirshfield are shared.
Shalom Portland is airing Friday September 25th at 11:00 am on all of KBOO’s fm signals (90.7 in Portland, 100.7 Corvallis, 91.9 Hood River) and can also be heard live on internet stream at www.kboo.fm. The show will also be archived for podcast on the kboo.fm website.
This is a pilot, or audition radio show. Ed has applied with KBOO for a once-a-month time slot for Shalom Portland. KBOO will make decisions about the future of the show based partly upon the feedback it receives from the listening public. So please do listen, either live or podcast and be sure to contact KBOO radio after September 25th if you would like to hear more programming like this in the future.
