Jewish Kids Radio the New Motzai Shabbos Sensation!
After partnering up with the Jewish Kids Radio, CrownHeights.info rekindled the excitement for what was once a Motzai Shabbos sensation. Jewish children from around the world eager with anticipation for the weekend show, which features exciting kosher entertainment and chances to win amazing prizes!
