Golden Goat from Bat Yam: how the private show company is organized and what is behind IsraelStripper

In the Israeli entertainment market, there are companies that clients know by the website name, but know almost nothing about who is behind the service itself. With IsraelStripper, it was much the same for a long time: a person would visit the site, choose a performer, city, event format — while the legal and organizational part remained somewhere behind the scenes.

Author: Stas Shifer

The project is backed by the Israeli company Golden Goat (עז הזהב), operating since 2016. The office is located in Bat Yam, but the activity is not limited to this city: orders are coordinated throughout Israel.

On a separate Golden Goat page, basic information about the company is now collected, and IsraelStripper effectively works as its digital project — a showcase, a catalog of performers, and an entry point for clients.

This distinction seems formal until you start to understand how such a business is structured.

The company and the website are not the same thing

IsraelStripper is what the client sees first. Here are published profiles, regional sections, articles, information about vacancies, and ways to contact.

Golden Goat is the organization behind this infrastructure.

Israeli «Stonehenge» on the Golan: what is really known about Gilgal Refaim

On the Golan Heights, about 16 km from the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret), there is a place that initially disappoints in person — and then suddenly overwhelms. Gilgal Refaim (גלגל רפאים) is translated in various ways: Wheel of Ghosts, Circle of Spirits, sometimes even Ring of Giants. And yes, it is called the Israeli Stonehenge — not because it "sounds nice," but because the resemblance in idea and mystery is indeed persistent.

Especially in spring, when the Golan is green, the air is wet from the grass, and the first flowers emerge where there was mud yesterday, this structure seems not just ancient — it seems stubbornly alive. Massive. Too calm for something that is about five thousand years old.

And yet, getting there is not always easy: the road requires a decent car and a willingness to walk.

Here is a link to Google Maps -

Stones that look like "just a pile" from the ground

Gilgal Refaim consists of approximately 42,000 basalt boulders, with a total weight estimated at up to 40,000 tons. At eye level, it often looks like a chaotic heap of stones — without an "entrance," without a beautiful composition, without a convenient sign saying "look here."

But all the magic is…

Odessa has a street named after the outstanding Jewish physicist Joseph Fisher — what made him famous

A Jewish Physicist Who Changed Science

In Odesa, 4th Suvorovska Street was officially renamed. It now bears the name of Yosyp (Joseph) Fisher — a prominent theoretical physicist of Jewish origin, whose scientific works remain a foundation for many modern studies. He was born in Minsk in 1919, but spent most of his professional life in Odesa.

This recognition is especially meaningful today, as Jewish and Ukrainian communities seek new points of connection in their shared historical and cultural memory. NAnews — News from Israel explains why the name of Yosyp Fisher deserves to be known by anyone interested in the relationship between Ukraine, Israel, and global science.
A Legacy That Spans a Lifetime

Yosyp Zalmanovych Fisher was a professor at Odesa National University named after I.I. Mechnikov. A theoretical physicist, he devoted over 20 years to advancing science in Odesa. From 1963 to 1983, he headed the Department of Theoretical Physics and created one of the most influential scientific schools in the Soviet Union.

• 150+ PhD candidates — his students

• 15 Doctors of Science — successors of his academic school

• Graduates work on every continent and at most universities…

Ukrainian ‘Zdybanka of Gratitude’ will gather Tel Aviv on October 17, 2026: fair, volunteers, and gratitude to the defenders of Ukraine and Israel

Fair, Ukrainian culture, new acquaintances, and support for the military — on October 17, 2026, in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, the 'Ukrainian Gathering of Gratitude' will take place. The meeting is dedicated to the defenders of Ukraine and Israel, and the organizers invite everyone interested to attend. For those who want to do more than just be a guest, they offer the opportunity to get involved — to come to the fair with their project or join the volunteer team.

Author: Pavel Shveiko

The word 'Zdybanka' may be unfamiliar to an Israeli reader who does not speak Ukrainian. It comes from the Ukrainian 'zdybatysia' — to meet, to see. But in Israel, a recognizable format has already formed around this word: people gather together for Ukrainian culture, communication, music, books, initiatives, and projects that usually exist each in their own circle.

On October 17, 2026, such a meeting will take place in Jaffa — at Ha-Tsorfim, 29, near the Nothing: space.

It starts at 14:00 and ends at 19:00. The fair will operate until 18:00.

This time, the name was also chosen deliberately — 'Ukrainian Gathering of Gratitude', Zdybanka of Gratitude. It is dedicated to the people defending Ukraine and…

Synagogue and Transcarpathia: in Uzhgorod, the foundation was laid for the restoration of the only unique wooden synagogue in Europe from the village of Bolshiye Komyaty

In Uzhgorod, a step was taken that recently seemed almost impossible: the foundation was laid for the restoration of the wooden synagogue from the village of Velyki Komyaty in Transcarpathia at the Transcarpathian Museum of Folk Architecture and Life. This is a rare monument of Jewish heritage that was dismantled, transported to the regional center, and is now planned to be recreated in the open-air museum. According to Ukrainian and specialized Jewish sources, this object is indeed one of the very few surviving wooden synagogues in Eastern Europe, and after restoration, it should become part of the museum's exhibition and simultaneously a space for cultural and religious life.

This was reported by the Transcarpathian Regional Council.

For the Israeli audience, this news is important not only as a local history plot from Transcarpathia.

It directly concerns the theme of preserving Jewish memory in Eastern Europe — the very memory that has been disappearing for decades along with communities, buildings, cemeteries, and local stories. Against the backdrop of war, destruction, and general instability, the very idea of not just preserving the remnants of a building but…

How to prepare a large house in Israel for Shabbat and holidays: a conversation about GENIUS

Preparing a large family home for Shabbat and Jewish holidays requires not only time but also proper work distribution. Israeli blogger and author of NANews Elena Gunko discussed with a GENIUS representative the capabilities of the steam system, its limitations, and the procedure for a free home demonstration.

Information about the availability of demonstrations, travel geography, and payment options is provided by the company representative; current conditions should be clarified before contacting.

In a religious or Haredi family, house cleaning is rarely limited to one major campaign a year. Preparation for Shabbat is repeated every week, and throughout the year, it is joined by Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Hanukkah, Purim, Passover, Shavuot, and family celebrations.

The larger the family, the harder it is to leave all the work for the last day. The kitchen continues to be used, children move from room to room, festive dishes are prepared, spaces are cleared for guests, and additional sleeping places are organized. A freshly washed floor can get dirty again, and fingerprints quickly appear on glass doors, cabinets, and tables.

Jews from Ukraine: Ukraine as the homeland of Hasidism — 37 main dynasties and their Ukrainian roots

The phrase "Ukraine is the homeland of Hasidism" sounds emotional, but it has a serious historical basis. Modern encyclopedic and academic sources indicate that Hasidism originated in the 18th century on the lands of present-day Western and Central Ukraine — primarily in Podolia and Volhynia, around the circle of Baal Shem Tov and his disciples. It is important to clarify: the formula of "37 main dynasties, of which 15 originate from the territory of present-day Ukraine" is more of a popularization scheme than a strict universally accepted academic standard. But the general conclusion does not change: the Ukrainian space was one of the main centers of the emergence and early development of the Hasidic world.

In Hasidism, they usually talk about courts or dynasties — lines of rebbes, which were most often named after their cities of origin. Over two and a half centuries, there have been many such lines: modern lists include dozens and hundreds of names, not a single canonical register. Therefore, when it comes to "37 main," it is more correct to understand this as a conditional list of the most notable historical houses, rather than a definitive list that everyone equally…

«Call sign ‘Jew’. An Israeli citizen has been fighting for Ukraine’s Independence since 2014» / 24th Separate Assault Battalion ‘Aidar’

Staff Sergeant Grigory Pivovarov, call sign "Jew", is a citizen of Israel who came to Ukraine during the Maidan and has been fighting against Russian aggression since 2014. His interview with the 24th Separate Assault Regiment "Aidar" is not only a personal story of a fighter but also an important conversation about the IDF, Ukraine, citizenship, anti-Semitism, Russian propaganda, and the price of a true choice.
An Israeli who chose Ukraine not with words, but with service

On April 30, 2026, the 24th Separate Assault Regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Aidar" published a video interview with Grigory Pivovarov — a staff sergeant, fighter with the call sign "Jew" and a citizen of Israel who has been fighting for Ukraine since 2014.

The video is titled: "Jew. About Israel, the IDF, Maidan, citizenship, and the war since 2014".

Link to the video:

This is not just a story of a foreigner who found himself in the Ukrainian war. It is the story of a person who went through the Maidan, the volunteer movement, the front, injuries, command positions, and still speaks of Ukraine as his home.

At the beginning of the interview, Grigory Pivovarov introduces himself directly: his name…

Virtual phone number in Israel without a SIM card: calls within Israel and from around the world for individuals and businesses — Zadarma

A virtual phone number allows you to receive calls over the internet without purchasing a physical SIM card for the desired country. Let's figure out how this communication works, what numbers can be connected in Zadarma, who they are suitable for, and what restrictions should be known in advance.

A person can live in Israel but work with clients in the USA, UK, Germany, France, Poland, Canada, or another country. An international number on the website is not always convenient for local clients, and purchasing and maintaining several physical SIM cards becomes a separate problem.

In such a situation, you can connect a virtual number of the desired country. Clients will call a regular local number, and the owner will be able to receive calls over the internet on a smartphone, computer, IP phone, or using call forwarding.

Physically being in the country whose number is connected is usually not required. However, the rules depend on the specific state: sometimes, to register a number, it is necessary to confirm identity, address, or provide company documents.

The editorial team of NANews uses the Zadarma service, so we decided to explain in detail and without complex technical…

Jews from Ukraine: Mila Kunis

Today we are talking about a Hollywood star - Mile Markovna Kunis! — New section 🔯 — Jews from Ukraine 🇺🇦

📍 Birth and emigration

• Born August 14, 1983 in Chernivtsi, Ukraine 🇺🇦.

• At the age of 7, she emigrated with her family to Los Angeles, USA 🇺🇸.

🕯 Tragic family story

Many of Mila's relatives died during the Holocaust. The actress has repeatedly mentioned anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union:

“We were brought up like this: you’re a Jew, just don’t tell anyone about it. That's why we moved to the US."

🕎 Judaism and Kabbalah

The Jewish religion plays an important role in the life of Mila and her family.

“We celebrate Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, although not always according to all the rules. I love our religion. I go to synagogue not out of obligation, but because it is important to me.”

Mila and her family light Shabbat candles, read prayers, and her children know blessings in Hebrew.

She also emphasizes the importance of family traditions:

“On Fridays, we get together as a family, look into each other’s eyes, say “I love you” and share the events of the week. This time strengthens our connection. No matter where we are, we always find a moment for it.”

The collection «Islands of Memory» in Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew: how Buchach unites Ukraine, Israel, and Agnon’s literature

On the western map of Ukraine, there is a city whose name has become a symbol of cultural memory — Buchach. It was here that the future Nobel laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon was born, a writer who combined Jewish spirituality and European philosophy. A century later, this city resonates again — now as the site of a literary residency and the book “Islands of Memory”, where Ukrainian authors reflect on time, identity, and Agnon's legacy. The publication has become a cultural bridge between Ukraine, Israel, and the diaspora, uniting texts in three languages — Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew.

Return to the origins: the city where it all began

Buchach is a small town in the Ternopil region, once the center of Galicia, where Ukrainian, Jewish, and Polish traditions intertwined. It was here in 1888 that Shmuel Yosef Agnon was born — a future classic who became one of the creators of modern Israeli literature.
His childhood was spent among ancient synagogues, baroque churches, and river slopes, where every place held traces of prayers and songs in Hebrew and Yiddish. Later, these motifs came to life in his books, and Buchach itself became a kind of archetype — a city of memory where the…

Whose is the Alexander Courtyard in Jerusalem after all? And will Netanyahu be able to «uphold the interests of the State of Israel» in this case?

“Wait, doesn't all the land in Israel belong to the state? How then is it transferred to someone?”

This is the most common and absolutely logical question.
And the short answer to it is — no, not all the land in Israel belongs to the state.

...

Let's say right away, in Israel, a petition/open appeal by Israeli citizens to the government is gaining momentum, demanding "to stop the transfer of the Alexander Courtyard to Russia and related IPPO structures", because they believe that such a transfer "threatens Israel's security" and poses "risks associated with external influence and the political interests of Moscow and related organizations".
"Protect Israel from the Russian threat: stop the transfer of the Alexander Courtyard to Hamas supporters"
“Protect Israel from the Russian threat: stop the transfer of the Alexander Courtyard to Hamas supporters”

here it is (Hebrew) -

...

Let's return to land ownership.
Where did this myth come from

In Israel, indeed:

• most of the land is under state management;

• there is the Israel Land Authority;

• land is often not sold, but leased long-term.

Because of this, there is a feeling that
“everything state-owned means the state…

RedotPay in Israel: virtual card, crypto wallet, and payments worldwide — what you need to know before registering

In Israel, many people have the same practical problem: the main bank or credit card is literally linked to everything.

It is used to pay for advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and Google, subscriptions to work services, hosting, domains, online stores, apps, trips, delivery, international platforms, and dozens of small regular payments.

As long as everything works, it's convenient. But as soon as the advertising account charges more than expected, a subscription is automatically renewed, a foreign service rejects a payment, or the card needs to be reissued, it becomes clear: keeping all payments on one main card is not always wise.

Against this backdrop, more and more users are looking towards separate virtual cards. One of the services actively discussed in this topic is RedotPay.

It is often called a crypto card, but for the average user, cryptocurrency is not the only important thing.

RedotPay can be interesting as a separate payment tool: for online payments, advertising accounts, international services, mobile wallets, limits, as well as working with USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and other supported digital assets.

Officially, RedotPay describes itself as a payment app and…

The grave of Tzadik Nachman in Uman received the status of a monument of national significance — decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine + history of the place

On July 2, 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine decided to grant the burial site of Tzadik Rabbi Nachman in the city of Uman the status of a site of national significance. This decision enhances the protection of the holy site and highlights its unique value for both Ukrainian and Jewish cultural and spiritual heritage.

This was reported by the government representative in the Verkhovna Rada, Taras Melnychuk.
"The category of the local landmark 'Prominent Site — the Tomb of Tzadik Nachman', located at Hryhorii Kosynka Street 1, Uman, Cherkasy region, has been changed to a national landmark under the category of history."

The tomb of Tzadik Rabbi Nachman is the central pilgrimage site for Breslov Hasidim, especially during Rosh Hashanah. In 2025, the Jewish New Year falls on October 2–4, and tens of thousands of pilgrims from Israel and other countries are expected to arrive.

Airalo and eSIM: how mobile internet works without a SIM card and whether you need it on a trip

For mobile internet abroad, it is no longer necessary to buy a plastic SIM card at the airport or automatically connect your operator's roaming. NAnews explored what Airalo is, how eSIM works, and what should be checked before purchasing.

You arrive in Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, or another country. The plane is just taxiing to the terminal, and you already need the internet: to write to your family on WhatsApp, open Google Maps, call a taxi, find the hotel address.

Previously, the choice was quite clear: either use the roaming of your Israeli operator or look for a local SIM card after arrival. The eSIM technology added a third option — to purchase a mobile package in advance and load it onto the phone digitally.

This is exactly how Airalo works.

But here it is immediately worth separating two concepts that are often confused. eSIM is a technology. Airalo is a service through which you can purchase a mobile package for eSIM.
What is Airalo in simple terms

Airalo calls itself an international eSIM marketplace. In its terms, the company more precisely defines its role as an aggregator and platform for communication services: it collects offers from mobile connectivity providers…

The story of Dmitry Fialka, a children’s coach of «Maccabi Be’er Sheva,» who died defending Ukraine in the International Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

He was born in Lviv, became an Israeli citizen, coached children at "Maccabi Be'er Sheva," served in the IDF, and then returned to Ukraine — and to a war that was not of his choosing. He voluntarily joined the "Right Sector", helped train recruits, later signed a contract with the UAF and commanded a platoon in the International Legion of Territorial Defense. He died near Bakhmut — as a man who lived between two countries and remained loyal to both. The story of Dmytro Fialka is not just about heroism, but about choice and duty that is stronger than fear.

Lviv. Birth and Roots

Dmytro Bohdanovych Fialka was born on June 21, 1983, in Lviv. It was the city where everything began for him: football, first friends, the smell of the yard, and cold morning training sessions at the school stadium. He grew up in a family that valued hard work and knew the price of responsibility. And, as acquaintances later recalled, he was focused from childhood — never fussed, acted calmly and precisely.

When he was about fifteen, the family moved to Israel. Repatriation, a change of language, a different climate and culture — all of this was a challenge. But it was there, in Israel, that Fialka…

Boombox in Israel «Dronotour ’26» in November 2026: Tel Aviv and Haifa are the first in the big tour

Boombox starts "Dronotour '26" from Israel: Tel Aviv and Haifa are the first in the big 2026 route. The Ukrainian band Boombox announced a big concert route "Dronotour '26" for November–December 2026.

For the Israeli audience, there is a particularly important detail in this poster: the tour starts from Israel.

The first concert is scheduled for November 10, 2026 in Tel Aviv, at the Reading 3 club.

The next day, November 11, 2026, the band will perform in Haifa, at the Theatron Hatzafon hall.

Details and tickets are published on the tour page on UNOW:
Why this tour starts with special meaning

Boombox is one of the most recognizable Ukrainian musical phenomena of the last two decades.

The band was founded in 2004 and became known for its combination of rock, hip-hop, soul, and live stage energy.

But after February 2022, Boombox's story gained another dimension.

The band's leader, Andriy Khlyvnyuk, became one of the voices of Ukrainian resistance.

His a cappella performance of "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow" on Sophia Square in Kyiv became a symbol of Ukraine's struggle and gained viral popularity far beyond the country's borders.

Not only Zelensky: Ukrainian trace in the Top-50 most influential Jews in the world 2026 according to The Jerusalem Post

Volodymyr Zelensky ranked 21st in the new ranking of the 50 most influential Jews in the world by The Jerusalem Post. This is the fourth appearance for the President of Ukraine in the list of the Israeli publication. In 2019, he immediately entered the top ten, after the Russian invasion in 2022 he became No. 1, then disappeared, returned to 22nd place, and now has risen one more position. But the story is more interesting than the numbers themselves: this ranking quite clearly shows how Zelensky's perception has changed in Israel and the Jewish world.

Author: Stas Shifer

In the new list of The Jerusalem Post (September 10, 2026), Volodymyr Zelensky was ranked 21st. Ahead of him are Palantir founder Alex Karp and investor Josh Kushner, who jointly took the 20th position. Immediately after the President of Ukraine, at number 22, are the head of the Shin Bet David Zini and the Chief of Staff of the IDF Eyal Zamir. Such a company itself explains what this ranking is trying to measure: not popularity, not attitude towards a person, and certainly not the degree of their religiosity, but influence.

The first place in 2026 was taken by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump — The Jerusalem…

«Nightmare for Tel Aviv» gathered on Sohu: how the Russian «Dan-T» returned to Russia with «China’s opinion»

On September 12, 2026, a striking story appeared in the Russian information field. Russia allegedly brought new weapons to Egypt, capable of "creating serious problems for Israel." The range allows threatening Israeli cities, the "Iron Dome" may not cope, the deployment of such weapons in Egypt or Syria would turn into a "nightmare for Tel Aviv," and Moscow, by merely showcasing the missile at the exhibition, has already put Israel and the USA in a difficult position.

Author: Lev Varshavsky

The origin gave this story particular credibility: it was claimed that this is what Chinese military analysts think, and the source was named as the 360kuai platform.

However, there was no direct link to the Chinese original.

NANews decided to trace the chain backward. The author of the material, Lev Varshavsky, checked publications about the Russian "Dan-T" since the end of August, official messages from Rostec, data from Rosoboronexport, Janes, Ukrainian military intelligence, the Chinese platform Sohu, the history of a specific Chinese account, and 360kuai itself.

It turned out not to be a story about secret Russian weapons that suddenly scared China for Israel.

«Odessa Anxiety»: People’s Artists of Ukraine Oleg Filimonov and Diana Malaya in November 2026 — premiere performances of the play in Israel

Big premiere in Israel! "...The event will continue if the alarm lasts no more than an hour..." - with these words, this play begins.

In November 2026, performances of the play "Odessa Alarm or How One Mishpucha Gathered in a Shelter" will take place in Israel with the participation of People's Artists of Ukraine Oleg Filimonov and Diana Malaya. This is a tour across six cities — Haifa, Ashdod, Rishon LeZion, Be'er Sheva, Petah Tikva, and Netanya.

Formally — a comedy in Russian with an Odessa "pronunciation".
In essence — a stage conversation about life during the war.

The play begins with a phrase that has long ceased to be a theatrical convention: "The event will continue if the alarm lasts no more than an hour..." This line sets the tone for the entire action. The audience immediately understands that it is not about a fictional alarm, but about the everyday reality of recent years.

Duration — 1 hour 40 minutes. Age restriction — 12+. Price range depending on the city — approximately 186–256 shekels.
Tour geography: cities, dates, audience

The performances are spread across the country — from north to south.

Ukrainian Nazar is already 1 year old. The Russian Shahed ‘denazified’ his mother before she could even hold her son.

On September 7, 2026, little Ukrainian Nazar turned 1 year old. At this age, parents usually argue about which cake to order, try to capture the child on camera, and then keep funny photos from the first birthday for years. Nazar's first photos are completely different: a tiny body among tubes, sensors, and medical equipment, resuscitation, and doctors who literally kept him alive for several months.

Author: Elena Gunko

He was not supposed to be born on September 7, 2025. Doctors expected him around October 20, but around three in the morning, a Russian Shahed struck the house in Kyiv where his family lived. A few hours later, doctors performed an emergency cesarean section on his severely burned mother, and Nazar was born almost a month and a half prematurely. The story was reminded by UNITED24.

His mother could never hold her son in her arms again.

Three in the morning. Corridor. Explosion

24-year-old Tatyana Sakiyan was 34 weeks pregnant. She lived in a two-room apartment on Yakuba Kolasa Street in the Svyatoshyn district of Kyiv with her common-law husband Vadim Bogdan and younger sister Alina. The family came from the Kirovohrad region, Tatyana and Vadim worked, rented…

The Alibi Sisters in Israel: the Zaval’ski sisters bring Ukrainian-Jewish music, Yiddish and klezmer — October 2026

In October 2026, Israel will once again hear The Alibi Sisters — the duo of Anna and Angelina Zavalsky, Ukrainian sisters from Kyiv, who have journeyed from the popular group "Алібі" to a project where the Ukrainian scene, Jewish memory, Yiddish, klezmer, and retro aesthetics sound like one story.

The tour will take place from October 10 to 18, 2026, covering several cities in Israel: Nof HaGalil, Ashdod, Netanya, Ashkelon, Rishon LeZion, Petah Tikva, Be'er Sheva, and Haifa. All concerts are scheduled for 20:00, and tickets, according to the organizers Showman, range from 174 to 265 shekels in different cities.

Tickets are already available on the Showman website.

This is not just a tour of a Ukrainian duo.

For many Israelis, especially those whose family histories are connected with Kyiv, Podolia, Odessa, Chernivtsi, Zhytomyr, Berdychiv, or Uman, this concert may be a meeting with that cultural world that cannot always be explained in words. It lives in songs, intonations, old records, family recipes, Yiddish words, grandmother's memories, and that special music where joy and sadness almost never exist separately.

Who are The Alibi Sisters

Anna and Angelina Zavalsky have…

«Not About the War»: The book of Jewish defender of Ukraine Maksym Shvartsman was presented in Chernivtsi on the 3rd anniversary of his death at the front

On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM in the Chernivtsi space "Hub 82" - presentation of the book "Not About War" (translated from Ukrainian "Not About War") — a posthumous collection of artistic works and frontline letters of serviceman, journalist, videographer, photographer, artist, and writer Maksym Shvartsman.

The date was not chosen by chance. The presentation is exactly on the third anniversary of Maksym's death, who died on July 15, 2023, during a combat mission in the Bakhmut direction.

The book was published by the Chernivtsi publishing house "Bukrek". The meeting is moderated by candidate of historical sciences Natalia Nechaeva-Yuriychuk. As the organizers emphasize, this is not just a literary presentation, but an evening of returning the voice of a person whom the war deprived of the opportunity to fulfill his long-standing dream — to publish his own prose.

The Chernivtsi Jewish newspaper Czernowitzer Zeitung calls Maksym Shvartsman a Jewish defender of Ukraine and emphasizes the special significance of his story for the Jewish community of Chernivtsi. He belonged to Ukrainian Jewry, worked in media, engaged in art, raised children, and from the first days of…

Hair Health Center ‘Abramsky’ in Haifa: when itching, hair loss, and ‘thinning part’ stop being trivial

There are problems that people try to "endure" for a long time.
Hair on the brush. Scalp itch. The feeling that the ponytail has become thinner. The parting has widened. And also — the eternal "maybe it's seasonal." In Israel, this sounds especially familiar: heat, sun, humidity, stress, abrupt changes in care and water — all this affects the scalp and follicles.

Therefore, many at some point stop googling another "shampoo for everything" and look for a place where they first deal with the cause, and only then offer a plan. In Haifa, such an address for many becomes the "Abramsky" Hair Health Center — the Russian-language main page is here:

Why "just hair loss" often turns out to be a system of causes

The most common pain is the feeling of losing control.
Yesterday everything was fine, and today hair remains in the shower drain, on the pillow, on clothes. People start taking typical steps: changing shampoos, buying vitamins, trying masks, canceling coloring, enduring itching. Sometimes it gets easier, but often — not for long.

The problem is that hair loss and thinning often go hand in hand with scalp irritation: inflammation, increased oiliness, dryness, flaking. And until…

Ukrainian ‘Zdybanka of Gratitude’ will gather Tel Aviv on October 17, 2026: fair, volunteers, and gratitude to the defenders of Ukraine and Israel

Fair, Ukrainian culture, new acquaintances, and support for the military — on October 17, 2026, in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, the 'Ukrainian Gathering of Gratitude' will take place. The meeting is dedicated to the defenders of Ukraine and Israel, and the organizers invite everyone interested to attend. For those who want to do more than just be a guest, they offer the opportunity to get involved — to come to the fair with their project or join the volunteer team.

Author: Pavel Shveiko

The word 'Zdybanka' may be unfamiliar to an Israeli reader who does not speak Ukrainian. It comes from the Ukrainian 'zdybatysia' — to meet, to see. But in Israel, a recognizable format has already formed around this word: people gather together for Ukrainian culture, communication, music, books, initiatives, and projects that usually exist each in their own circle.

On October 17, 2026, such a meeting will take place in Jaffa — at Ha-Tsorfim, 29, near the Nothing: space.

It starts at 14:00 and ends at 19:00. The fair will operate until 18:00.

This time, the name was also chosen deliberately — 'Ukrainian Gathering of Gratitude', Zdybanka of Gratitude. It is dedicated to the people defending Ukraine and…

«Ancient Hebrew Language»: A textbook has been published in Ukrainian in Ukraine — a cultural signal amid the rise of global anti-Semitism

In Ukraine, a textbook "Ancient Hebrew Language" ("Ancient Hebrew Language") has appeared—an edition dedicated to the language of the Tanakh and designed for serious, systematic study of the ancient Hebrew text. For the Jewish audience in Israel, this is important news not only from the academic sphere. It is about a book that shows: the language of the Hebrew original remains a subject of respectful and deep study beyond Israel, specifically in the Ukrainian language - the national language of another country. The author of the textbook is Dmitry Tsolin, Doctor of Philological Sciences, a specialist in biblical studies, ancient Hebrew and Aramaic languages, a researcher of the Semitic language tradition.
"Ancient Hebrew Language" is a textbook that combines the features of a grammar and syntax reference for the ancient Hebrew language of the Tanakh with practical tasks. In addition to theoretical material, the book contains exercises for mastering grammatical material, an ancient Hebrew-Ukrainian glossary for convenient word search, as well as information on the history of the language and a list of foreign borrowings. Moreover, one of the most complex aspects of reading the…

Jews from Ukraine: Philip Kotler — the father of global marketing with roots in Nizhyn and Chernivtsi

"... The UN is a major problem. It was created to maintain world peace and engage in peacekeeping when needed. Unfortunately, they did not create armed forces to support all nations. Moreover, Russia is part of it, and I understand that all members want to change the charter and remove it. Ultimately, we want them (Russia – ed.) not to appear on the UN map at all because they set a bad example for the world...

In our regular column “Jews from Ukraine” — Philip Kotler, by blood, is a Ukrainian Jew whose family roots go deep into Ukrainian soil, from which his parents were forced to emigrate to the United States in the early 20th century.
Who is Philip Kotler

Philip Kotler is an American economist and professor at Northwestern University (Kellogg School of Management), known as the “father of modern marketing”. He developed the concepts of the marketing mix (4P), social marketing, demarketing, and Marketing 3.0, which emphasizes values and humanism.

By combining marketing with psychology and economics, he laid the scientific foundations for modern marketing practice.

One of his most famous works, Marketing Management, is used worldwide as a key university textbook. His theories…

Why does the same query in ChatGPT show different companies today and tomorrow — and what should businesses in Israel do about it

The same question asked to ChatGPT multiple times can lead to different sources, different sites, and even different recommendations. New research has shown: it's not just about the wording of the query. ChatGPT is capable of changing its internal search channel, classifying the question differently, and sometimes not even consulting the internet at all. For small and medium businesses in Israel, this means that one good website is no longer enough.

Not long ago, promoting a business on the internet seemed relatively straightforward.

A company would create a website, set up Google Maps, publish service pages, work on Google rankings, and launch ads.

Today, a potential client increasingly does not browse through ten websites.

They ask:
“Which lawyer to choose in Haifa?”

“Where to get a cosmetic procedure in Kiryat?”

“Who repairs air conditioners in Netanya?”

“Which company handles transportation across Israel?”

“Which specialist speaks Hebrew and Russian?”

And they receive a ready answer with several names from ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, or another AI assistant.

The main problem is that this list is not constant.

Today, artificial intelligence might name your…

DNA that hasn’t forgotten: what modern genetics really says about the Jewish people

Genetics does not prove myths and does not measure identity. But it shows that behind the millennia of Jewish history stand not only memory, faith, and culture, but also real traces of population past.
DNA and Jewish history: where myth ends and science begins

In the discussion about the origin of the Jewish people, there is always a risk of falling into one of two extremes. The first is to turn genetics into proof of ancient texts, as if a laboratory can confirm every line of the TANAKH. The second is to completely separate Jewish history from biology, as if two thousand years of diaspora, marriage norms, community life, and identity transmission could leave no trace in the genome.

Science does not confirm either of these extremes.

Modern population genetics speaks more cautiously and interestingly: many historical Jewish groups indeed retain a recognizable common component of origin, associated with ancient Middle Eastern populations. But this component is not a 'pure line,' does not negate mixing with surrounding peoples, and does not turn DNA into a test for Jewishness.

This is an important distinction.

The Jewish people are not a biological formula. Jewish identity is…

The name of the Hero of Ukraine with a Jewish soul has become a wine in Israel

Young Israelis still feel the pain of losing a Ukrainian comrade with whom they created a Zionist project — an organic farm at the foot of Mount Carmel. In memory of their friend, who heroically died repelling Russian aggression against Ukraine, they named a new wine made from the vineyards he planted.

On March 12, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded Kostyantyn Mrochko the title of Hero of Ukraine — the country's highest military honor for courage and heroism.

His body was not buried as it burned along with the tank.
"In Israel, Kostya was spiritually reborn and restored. He was not Jewish, but we held a memorial ceremony for him in March 2023. We remember his quick reactions, his work ethic, courage, all his human qualities."

Kostya, known as Kostyantyn Mrochko, was a tank operator, builder, and craftsman with golden hands. He was a nature and agriculture enthusiast, as well as a joker and inventor with a kind heart. After participating in tank battles in Donbas, he moved to Israel, where he worked in construction and joined the "Lev Adam" organic farm. Kostya was a respected and beloved comrade, leaving a deep impression on everyone who knew him. He was…

52 thousand in Uman: Rosh Hashanah record, Israeli police, and air raid alerts over the city

In Uman this year, something happened that even the organizers did not seriously expect a few days ago. The city was preparing for about 40,000 pilgrims for Rosh Hashanah 5787, but on the morning of September 11, 2026, the Ukrainian side reported more than 45,000 arrivals. A few hours later, Israel Hayom published a new figure — about 52,000 people — and called it an absolute record for pilgrimage to Uman.

Author: Stas Shifer

Here, one caveat is needed, otherwise the loud number can easily turn into inaccurate news. Over 45,000 is an estimate reported on the morning of September 11 to the Ukrainian public broadcaster 'Suspilne' by a representative of the Rabbi Nachman Foundation. The data on 52,000 was received by Israel Hayom later, but the publication does not specify which state or public structure provided this statistic. Therefore, it is more correct to say: Ukrainian sources confirm more than 45,000 pilgrims, Israel Hayom reports about 52,000.

Even the lower of these numbers already goes beyond the usual limits.

In 2022, after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, about 23,000 pilgrims came to Uman. In 2023 — approximately 35–37 thousand, in 2024 — about 34…

4 Ukrainian Jews Become Among the Richest Immigrants to the US According to Forbes

How did four Ukrainian Jews — Jan Koum, Leonid Radvinsky, Michael Polsky and Max Levchin — go from childhood in Kyiv, Odesa and the Kharkiv region to a combined net worth of over $25 billion in the United States?

Each of them founded or led a world‑class company: Jan Koum was one of the creators of WhatsApp, Leonid Radvinsky turned OnlyFans into a global phenomenon, Michael Polsky founded Invenergy LLC in the “green” energy sector, and Max Levchin co‑founded PayPal and now runs Affirm.

This is reported in a publication by Forbes. By the number of billionaire immigrants, Ukraine ranked 9th among 41 countries.
From Kyiv’s Courtyards to Global Heights

How Their Stories Began in Ukraine

• Jan Koum was born in February 1976 on the outskirts of Kyiv. In the family of an electronics engineer there were no trendy computers, but there were radios that the boy would take apart and reassemble. In a school BASIC club he wrote his first programs to send text messages over a local network.

• Leonid Radvinsky was born in the early 1970s in Odesa, near the famous Privoz Market. Together with his mother he sold souvenirs to tourists, calculating profit and bargaining for every dollar. These…

НАновости‼️: !שנה טובה ומתוקה – Happy New 5787 Year!

Dear friends and readers,

On the evening of September 11, Rosh Hashanah 5787 — ראש השנה תשפ״ז begins. The Jewish New Year arrives at a time when both Israel and Ukraine are once again acutely aware of the value of simple words: home, family, security, life.

We wish that the year 5787 will be a year of return — to normal life, to our families, to home. A year with fewer funerals and sirens, fewer alarming messages in the night, less waiting for a call from the front.

May good be stronger than evil, peace stronger than war, and hope stronger than fear. May homes in Israel and Ukraine be filled with light, love, and blessings.

שנה טובה ומתוקה — A good and sweet year!

Israel: hostages have returned home, but the wound of war remains

A year ago, one of the main wishes for Rosh Hashanah was heard in almost every Israeli home: to bring back the hostages from Gaza.

Israel enters the year 5787 with a different reality. In January 2026, the last Israeli held in Gaza, Ran Gwili, was returned home. All living and deceased hostages were returned to Israel.

For the country, this marked the end of one of the most painful chapters of the tragedy that began on October 7, 2023. But the end…
