Religious-National Weekly 'Olam Katan' Expands to 80 Pages with New Design and Writers
The longstanding Shabbat newsletter "Olam Katan," popular within Israel's religious-national community, is undergoing a major transformation into a full-fledged weekly newspaper. Starting this week, the publication will feature over 80 pages of diverse content, including news, commentary, personal columns, Jewish topics, society, culture, and in-depth magazine articles. This expansion includes a refreshed design, a completely new logo, and a significantly enlarged distribution network that extends beyond traditional synagogue handouts to new locations across the country.
Alongside the familiar and beloved writers, "Olam Katan" is adding new voices to provide a broader range of perspectives on pressing issues affecting both the religious community and Israeli society at large. The redesign aims to enhance the reading experience, shifting from a simple Shabbat leaflet to a comprehensive weekly journalistic product.
This print expansion complements the publication's recent digital growth, which includes the launch of a news website and active social media channels that collectively reach millions of monthly viewers. The editorial team emphasized their goal to offer readers a high-quality, valuable weekly newspaper that reflects their ambition to deepen and broaden their role as a leading media group in the religious-national sector. "Olam Katan. Now bigger," they stated.
The move marks a significant step in the publication's evolution, aiming to provide richer content and a more engaging experience for its expanding audience.
