Regular educational features include 'Torah portion of the week' 'Jewish holidays - what why and how' 'Ethics of the Fathers.'

This lively blend is geared to appeal to a cross section of the community particularly, young families. As the longest running Jewish program in the Washington area Awake, Alive and Jewish is not just a radio program but a Jewish experience. Listener response to AA&J has confirmed this idea many times.
