Six Classic Hidabroot Shows You Should Know About

Pairings: When Yuval the Confused and Shimon Peretz Meet

Pairings was one of the first programs produced by the Hidabroot channel. Its aim was to create an engaging dialogue between various artists who have come closer to Judaism, with each sharing their journey up to embracing Judaism.

Among the unique pairings, you can find Shuli Rand and Adi Ran, Avichai Cohen and Roni Ayalon, as well as singers Amir Benayoun and Yehuda Massas or Oded Menashe and Rabbi Yuval Hacohen Asherov.

Sometimes the pairings were between artists, one of whom was still secular, while the other was in the midst of a journey towards Judaism. What they shared was a strong faith and spiritual quest. For example, you can find actors Nir Friedman and Adi Trer, singers Alon De Loco and Itzik Orlev, and even Yuval the Confused and Shimon Peretz.

Awakening with Adi Ran: Where Humor Meets Seriousness

The "Awakening" program is among the oldest on Hidabroot, and perhaps even the first one. In the show, Adi Ran, a singer and creator who returned to Judaism, hosts artists from different fields for a conversation about their journey towards Judaism.

Among the guests hosted by Adi Ran on "Awakening," you can find Rabbi Erez Moshe Doron, Professor Eliyahu Rips – who extensively researched the Bible Code, Yonatan Danino – who was the bodyguard of the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and even the singer Yehuda Sa'ado, former winner of "A Star is Born."

In his own way, Ran turns the interview into something a bit different, unlike any official interview, adding special interest and some humor and wit, even with serious and respected guests. Highly recommended.
