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.
Written and hosted
by Mrs. Anna Toporovsky, hosts Inna Giller (the first host of the show),
Poul Tuvelman, Lily Trosman, Gretta, commentator Yuri Borin, and
