Awake, Alive, and Jewish
Sundays from 10 am to 11 am on World Radio WMET 1160AM
Awake, Alive & Jewish now on WMET 1160am
The longest running radio show in the Washington area Awake, Alive & Jewish will now be broadcast on WMET 1160am every Sunday morning at its regular time of 10:00. WMET is one of only three fifty thousand watt stations in the area and its signal covers the entire metro region.
The Show which is hosted by Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan the regional director of Chabad Lubavitch, co-hosted by attorney Gary Siegel and produced by Michael Hoffman has been on the air for over twenty eight years.
Featuring a unique blend of joyous music, interviews, educational features Israeli news and irreverent banter between the hosts the show is a staple of Jewish Washington. Regular educational features include "Torah portion of the week" "Jewish holidays - what why and how" "Ethics of the Fathers." Live interviews with authors, Jewish personalities and other Jewish "mitzvah'nicks" from around the world is also a weekly feature.
This lively blend is geared to appeal to a cross section of the community particularly, young families. As the longest running Jewish program in the Washington area Awake, Alive and Jewish is not just a radio program but a Jewish experience. Listener response to AA&J has confirmed this idea many times.
Since its debut in 1980 Awake, Alive & Jewish has developed a very substantial listening audience and has established itself as an important part of Jewish Washington.
