KOL CALIFORNIA & KESHER AUDIO

Gady Amor is a real estate appraiser and Amir Tsuri an engineer.  Gady created a digital radio station Kol California and has broadcast in Hebrew generally to the Israeli expat population in the US and to a vibrant community in Israel.  Broadcasting on Sat mornings for years, Gady has cultivated a following of listeners as well as guest DJs.

Eager to share Jewish, Israeli, and all kinds of music with the public, Gady began to offer the Jewish community the opportunity to create their own stations.  Partnering with Amir Tsuri, they created Kesher Audio whose purpose was to share the tools with others in the community seeking to build community through music their own way.
