CJRS, branded as Radio Shalom Montreal, is a 24-hour non-profit radio station based in Montreal, Canada. It is Canada’s first and only trilingual Jewish radio station. It broadcasts in French (60%), English (30%) and Hebrew (10%). The station broadcasts at 1650AM. Its current president is Robert Levy.

Radio Shalom is the only radio station in Canada that broadcasts mizrahi, yiddish, ladino, klezmer, hassidic and Israeli music. Radio Shalom is also, the only all Jewish radio station in North America. In accordance to Halakha (Jewish law), Jewish programming on Radio Shalom is suspended on Shabbat and on Jewish holidays. During those periods, the station brands itself simply as CJRS 1650 AM, and also as Radio CMM. Gospel music is featured during these times.

Call sign

The station's call letters of CJRS are said to represent the station's branding of Radio Shalom. A common misconception is that they actually stand for "Canadian Jewish Radio Station" or "Radio Shalom," but station executives have confirmed that they, in fact, do not. The previous occupant of the 1650 AM frequency used the CJRS call sign as well, and Radio Shalom inherited them when they signed on. The fact that CJRS and Radio Shalom share similar initials of RS is purely coincidental.

The CJRS call sign was previously used by Radiomutuel's Sherbrooke outlet, at 1510 on the dial. It went dark along with a host of other AM stations in 1994.
