Israel Hayom is a media organization founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better journalism—more balanced, more accurate, and more reliable. Journalism that speaks rather than shouts. Journalism that is trustworthy, objective, and matter-of-fact. A different kind of journalism, offered free of charge.
The first print edition was published on July 30, 2007, and in 2010 Israel Hayom became the Israeli newspaper with the highest weekday readership. The newspaper’s publisher is Dr. Miriam Adelson. Its Editor-in-Chief is Omar Lachmanovitch, and its founding editor is Amos Regev.
Israel Hayom’s Hebrew and English websites, as well as its Android and iOS applications, provide around-the-clock news coverage, exclusive content, breaking news and updates, analysis and commentary, video, podcasts, and live broadcasts.
The digital platforms of Israel Hayom include news and opinion channels covering culture and entertainment, lifestyle, technology, sports, business and consumer affairs, health, military affairs, food, Judaism, tourism, and automobiles.
In 2021, a new Hebrew-language website and mobile application were launched to provide users with a fast, up-to-date, secure, and convenient experience.
The content of the newspaper’s print edition is also available online through a daily digital edition and can be received via newsletter.
“The Israel Hayom Clique,” the publication’s exclusive benefits club, offers website users discounts and special promotions on products and services.
Israel Hayom welcomes feedback, criticism, and suggestions for improvement from its readers. You can contact the organization by email at hayom@israelhayom.co.il
Former hostage Segev Kalfon arrived Monday at the Israel Building Resilience conference in Jerusalem, held as the economy regains momentum and Israeli society reconnects its unique fabric.
During a panel with reporter Yoav Limor, Kalfon was asked what question he would pose to himself first, and he replied, "How do you feel?" So how do you feel, Limor asked, and Segev responded, "Very moved. Moved to be living the life I dreamed about."
"What does life look like now? What does morning feel like? You mentioned you still struggle with sleep?" Limor asked.

Segev Kalfon explained, "Yes. I try to stay busy during the day. At night, when I get into bed and I'm by myself, I pull the covers up and the thoughts flood in. That's where the real struggle lives. October 7. Everything I endured in captivity comes flooding back. I recall the times they took me out to be executed. Through divine providence, circumstances shifted, and went wrong in my favor. There's this yellow container outside the festival, near the checkpoint, that stays fixed in my mind. Ultimately, it's two years of agony. Not two days. Two years where every minute, every second, you exist in mortal danger. It's permanently carved in."
Q: Were there times when you believed this was the end? That you wouldn't survive? That you wouldn't come home?
Segev said, "Yes. There were times I believed this was it. That I would certainly die there. We endure torture daily."
