I don't really know anything about this, but I do know a Greek-American woman 
who used to live in a very Jewish neighborhood in Chicago. She knew some 
Israeli-American women who lived around there. She said they always wanted to 
listen to her records of Greek music, the "real Greek" stuff. Apparently that 
music was popular in Israel.
