Rabbi Tovia Singer returns to the airwaves April 29th, broadcasting from a new studio overlooking Jerusalem's Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
Singer became one of Israel's most popular English talk radio hosts when he moved his show from New York to IsraelNationalRadio in 2002. His show developed a sharp controversial edge, when he began engaging Arab callers, anti-Semites and neo-Nazis on air, confronting them with the hard facts and analysis that comprise his outspoken defense of Jewish rights to the Land of Israel.
On occasion, Singer has used sound effects to "flush down the toilet" callers who go on anti-Semitic rants.
As an ardent supporter of Israel's presence in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, Singer's Israel news monologues often focus on those regions which he says are on "the front lines of terrorism."
His penetrating political analysis is only part of the act. Tovia is the son of a rosh yeshiva (dean of a rabbinic seminary), and his vast knowledge of both the Jewish Bible and Christian Testament has been a draw for on-air inquiries from faith seekers as well as assaults from Christian missionaries. The on-line Virtual Studio chat room which accompanies the show registers peak activity during these exchanges.
Rabbi Singer has released for free internet download a 26-part lecture series on the Jewish Response to Jews for Jesus.
Along with its new schedule (see below) and location, the show has a new producer, Yehuda Frieman, who will be lining up interviews with leading newsmakers in Israel and the US.
The 2-hour Tovia Singer show will return live on Tuesday April 29th, 11 p.m. til 1 a.m. EDT (in Israel: April 30, 6-8 a.m.) on IsraelNationalRadio.com. The show's new schedule will include broadcasts on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, starting at 11 p.m. EDT (in Israel: Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 6 a.m.)
The show can be heard live at the above times, on-demand and podcast. The Tovia Singer show will soon be made available to radio stations and networks by satellite. Write here for syndication information.
