New radio station : “Kol Polin”

(Thursday, March 15th, 2007)

mike.jpgPolish state radio will begin broadcasting a daily program in Hebrew this month in an attempt to give Israelis an up-to-date picture of the country where many have their roots.The program, funded in part by Poland’s Foreign Ministry, will air for the first time on March 26.

The program, Kol Polin, or Voice of Poland, is meant to “let Israelis know that there is a living, breathing Jewish community here,” said Michael Hermon, an Israeli living in Warsaw who will be one of two presenters. “It’s not only museums and concentration camps.”

The program will consist of 30-minutes of news and entertainment every day except for Shabbos. Topics will include Jewish life in Poland, general politics, culture and business.

Hermon said the radio network was working to obtain an FM radio frequency in Israel, and in the meantime would broadcast on the Internet.

    If this really is “an attempt to give Israelis an up-to-date picture of the country where many have their roots”, surely the broadcasts should be in Israel and not in Poland… !!!
