Olam Katan Transforms From Shabbat Leaflet to Weekly Newspaper with Over 80 Pages

After years as a Shabbat leaflet associated with the national-religious community, Olam Katan is relaunching this week as a weekly newspaper exceeding 80 pages. The transformation includes expanded content, a broader team of writers, new design and logo, and a significant increase in distribution across Israel. The revamped publication will feature news, current affairs, commentary, Judaism, society, culture, and magazine sections alongside its regular columns.

The editorial team announced that alongside veteran contributors, new journalists and columnists will join to diversify the range of opinions and voices presented to readers. The graphic design has been updated to reflect the shift from a Shabbat leaflet to a comprehensive weekly newspaper. Distribution will expand beyond synagogues to additional points nationwide.

In recent years, Olam Katan has also grown its digital presence by launching a news website and increasing activity on social media platforms, aiming to strengthen its role as a media group serving the national-religious public. The editorial staff emphasized that the new format aims to provide readers with a broader, more in-depth journalistic product and an enhanced reading experience.
