The STAR OF DAVID Radio Show
The
STAR OF DAVID (Zvezda Davida) Radio Magazine is one hour
radio program presented weekly as an educational and
cultural outreach service to approximately 35,000 Russian
speaking listeners of Baltimore and Washington DC areas
WBGR 860 AM on Sunday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 NOON.
The
Star of David began broadcasting in May 1991 as a half-hour
program that provided information on Jewish communal life
to new Americans, helping with their acculturation and
integration. Due to the overwhelming response and demand
for more programming, the broadcast was expanded to full
hour broadcast since July 1992, after receiving a grant
from the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein foundation.
In June
1993 STAR OF DAVID was selected by Governor William Donald
Schaefer of Maryland as recipient of GOVERNERS MEDAL OF
DISTINCTION. This medal is awarded to individuals who
initiated a program to benefit other citizens of State of
Maryland.
