The Nachum Segal Network to host Kosher Halftime Show

The Nachum Segal Network has announced the 2015 Kosher Halftime Show. Hosted by Jewish radio icon, Nachum Segal, the Kosher Halftime Show is the family oriented alternative to the pop culture musical and dance performance on broadcast television.

The program will stream and be available during halftime of Super Bowl XLIX, Sunday Feb. 1, 2015, on http://www.nachumsegal.com.

The program will feature Soulfarm, led by Grammy award-winning guitarist C Lanzbom and lead singer Noah Solomon Chase. Together with drummer Ben Antelis and Grammy award-winning bassist Mitch Friedman, Soulfarm will debut “Shalom Lach Eretz Nehederet.” This Hebrew song is a remake about wandering away from and then returning to Israel.

“Featuring a band with the magnitude and talent of Soulfarm makes the Kosher Halftime Show a real alternative for families during the Super Bowl,” said host Nachum Segal. “There are many families that enjoy watching the game together, but when the halftime show starts they are uncomfortable. We’ve created a family friendly entertainment venue that can be enjoyed by everyone,” Segal concluded.

Last year’s inaugural show received accolades from across the spectrum, attracting tens of thousands of viewers during and in the weeks following the game, for providing a family focused entertainment program during one of the most watched sports events of the year.

Aside from the debut of “Shalom Lach Eretz Nehederet,” Soulfarm will perform two other tracks that are sure to entertain.

Nachum’s trademark humor and commentary on the Jewish music scene and Jewish community life will provide background for the entire program.

Following the game, the song “Shalom Lach Eretz Nehederet” will be available on iTunes, along with the rest of Soulfarm’s catalogue, and the entire Kosher Halftime Show will be available on demand on NSN’s website and the NSN YouTube channel “NachumSegalNet.”

The program’s presenting sponsor is the Friends of The Abe Naymark Foundation. Debuting Big Game commercials, Royal Wine Corp., American Committee for Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem and The Religious Zionist Slate (www.votetorah.com) will air 30-second spots. Ables & Heyman and Gourmet Glatt are sponsors as well.
