This July 4th, America turned 250 years old…and on Israel Hour Radio, we celebrated the only way we know how: with music! But not just any music – today’s show is a full hour of your favorite English-language classics, translated and sung entirely in Hebrew. Turns out Israeli singers have been covering American hits for decades, and the results are somewhere between hilarious and beautiful. You’ll hear Hebrew versions of “Stand By Your Man,” “The Boxer,” “Country Road,” “What a Wonderful World,” and a bunch of surprises you will NOT see coming. Some of these covers are so good you’ll forget the original was ever in English! Happy birthday, America – this one’s for you. (Original Air Date: July 5, 2026)
