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
Some 6,000 new olim are expected to arrive to Israel this summer, and OU Israel is preparing to help children and teens build social connections ahead of the start of the school year through Camp Dror. Eyal Tannenbaum, who began as a camper and is returning to the camp as a counselor, speaks about the importance of creating friendships for young olim that last throughout their lives, even after camp.
New National Insurance data reveals that new olim account for the majority of Israelis who terminate their residency – sparking urgent calls for a sweeping overhaul of the country's absorption system.
Most of the new Olim are from France and the US, but many still do not have plane tickets due to cancellations and limited availability. The state is preparing for accelerated absorption: “Aliyah continues even in the most complex periods.”
Democratic primary victories by candidates with anti-Israel views are raising fears in the US Jewish community and questions about deeper trends in American politics.
Nadav, a lone combat soldier, says his greatest challenge isn't combat in Gaza, but the loneliness and search for community off the base. OU Israel's new mentorship program aims to change that, offering English-speaking immigrant soldiers a social, Torah, and community framework during their service.
Aliyah carries an undeniable halo of excitement and fulfillment – but it has a less glamorous side: adjustment. The "Sabres" community is bringing olim together with native-born Israelis to build what it calls a "strong and equal" community that helps both at a time making connections is harder than ever.
New York hosts inaugural "Coming Home to Jerusalem" event, bringing Israeli developers and 1,000 Jewish community leaders together to showcase the capital's construction boom.
Some 350 medical professionals attended a special conference held this week in Paris. All of them are looking for a way to make aliyah to Israel and build new lives there, including professionally.
From secret escapes through the deserts of Sudan and Iraq, to the upheaval in Iran and the Zionist decision of 2026: the story of Israel’s immigrants, or olim in Hebrew, is the story of all of us. A glimpse into life stories that prove that no matter where you came from, or how hard the journey was, home was always waiting for us.
Despite the rise in emigration, Israel continues to grow thanks to educated Olim and experienced returning residents. Claims of collapse are exaggerated, and the nation's resilience remains intact.
