What a dynamic duo on this week’s program! I’ll welcome William Perthes, Bernard C. Watson Director of Adult Education at the Barnes Foundation, to talk about the life and times of Albert Barnes, founder of that incredible institution, and what’s happening right now at the Foundation! And. . . Philadelphia legend Cantor David Tilman brings his awe-inspiring “Sing Hallelujah!” yet again to the Kimmel Center on Wednesday, February 20 at 8 PM. Join me as well for lots of great music! That all comes your way Tuesday at 10 AM (Friday rebroadcast at 10 AM) on WWDB AM 860, or anytime anywhere on wwdbam.com.

For those listeners in West Florida, please join me at Temple Beth-El in Fort Myers for a special Shabbat service this coming Friday evening, February 8 at 7:30 PM. We will have a beautiful, meaningful and musical experience together.

Our almost-Valentine’s Day broadcast on February 12 is going to include my favorite love songs performed by my favorite singers, but I’d love – – that’s the operative word for Valentine’s Day – – I’d love to include some of yours as well. So, send me  the name of that special song, and perhaps that special someone to whom you’d like to dedicate it, I’m a click away from making that happen. Just write the name of the song and the dedicatee to mashallportnoyshow@gmail.com, and still plenty of time to use the US Mail at P.O. Box 2786, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004.

“See” you Tuesday at 10 AM! Marshall
