Is There a Daily Email for Israeli News in English?

Yes. baba News sends a brief built from 58 Israeli newsrooms publishing in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, French and English. Each item is a single event with every outlet that covered it attached, so you read what happened and how the press handled it, rather than one newsroom’s account of the day.

There are three editions a day, morning, midday and evening, a Friday digest, and a breaking email capped at one a day. Each is a separate switch, in English or Hebrew.

The Editions

Turn on as many or as few as you want.

EditionWhenWhat is in it
MorningWhat happened overnightThe brief as the country wakes up, rebuilt from the coverage of the last several hours.
MiddayWhat has moved sinceThe same brief, rebuilt. Useful if you start your day in another timezone.
EveningWhere the day landedWhat the press converged on, and what it did not.
The Week Across the PressFridays, one emailThe week’s biggest stories, chosen by how the whole press covered them rather than by what one newsroom ran.
BreakingAt most one a dayOnly when a story is genuinely breaking. The cap is deliberate: an alert that arrives constantly stops being an alert.

Why It Reads Differently From a Newsroom Newsletter

Because it is not written by a newsroom. It is assembled from all of them.

Built from the whole press

Not one newsroom's newsletter. Each item is a story clustered across the 58 Israeli newsrooms that covered it, with the outlets named.

English or Hebrew

The same brief in either language. The Hebrew edition is the same stories, not a different product.

You pick the editions

Morning, midday, evening, the Friday digest and breaking are separate switches. Turning one off never turns another off.

Every story links out

Each item links to the story on baba News and through to the original articles, with each newsroom’s advertising and paywall intact.

How to Start It

Create a free News account in the app or on the web, open settings, and choose your editions and your language. One account covers iPhone, Android and the web. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe scoped to that kind of email, so stopping the breaking alerts never quietly stops the Friday digest.

If you would rather have it on your phone than in your inbox, alerts cover the same ground with quiet hours on Jerusalem time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alerts on your phone instead
Is there a daily email for Israeli news in English?

Yes. baba News sends a brief built from 58 Israeli newsrooms, in English or Hebrew, with morning, midday and evening editions. Each item is one event clustered across every outlet that covered it, so you get the story and the shape of its coverage rather than one newsroom’s version.

How often does the Israel news email arrive?

As often as you choose. The brief has three editions a day, morning, midday and evening, and each is a separate switch. There is a Friday digest called The Week Across the Press, and a breaking email capped at one a day. Turning off one never turns off another.

Can I get it in Hebrew?

Yes. Every edition is available in Hebrew as well as English, with the same stories and the same grouping across the press.

How is this different from a newsroom’s newsletter?

A newsroom’s newsletter is that newsroom’s day. This is built from the whole Israeli press, including the Hebrew, Haredi, Arabic and Russian-language outlets that never publish in English, and it names which newsrooms ran each story and which sides of the press did not.

How do I sign up?

Create a free News account in the app or on the web, then turn on the editions you want in settings. One account covers the app and the web.

How do I unsubscribe?

Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe scoped to that kind of email, so stopping the breaking alerts never silently stops the weekly digest.
