Kikar HaShabbat (Hebrew: כיכר השבת, lit. 'Sabbath Square') is a Hebrew–language Israeli news website directed toward Haredi audience. It is named after an intersection in Jerusalem in a neighbourhood inhabited by Haredi Jews. A Globes study in 2017 found it as Israel's 9th most used news website.[1]
History[edit]
Kikar HaShabbat was started in 2009 by journalist Mordechai Lavi. In 2012, Israeli website Ynet acquired half of Kikar HaShabbat.[2] From its founding to 2012 Menachem Cohen was the chief editor.
