Segulah

Segulah (Hebrew: סגולה) is an Israeli monthly magazine dedicated to public history, launched in April 2010. It covers the history of the Jewish people alongside general world history, operating from the premise that the Jewish people have played a significant role in global history and in the historical processes that have shaped humanity. The magazine is published monthly in Hebrew, with a parallel English-language edition appearing every two months. The publication runs to roughly 80 glossy pages per issue and typically features about four major articles focusing on social phenomena, historical events, or historical figures. Articles dealing with historical figures continue the "Portrait With" (דיוקן עם) series, whose first twenty installments were published in the newspaper Makor Rishon. The magazine also carries a stable of regular columns, including "In Those Days" (historical events from the same month), "Briefs" (news in historical and archaeological research), "History Repeats" (contemporary events viewed through a historical lens), "Newly Published" (monthly listings of recent books), "Book Review" (in-depth review of a single work), "The Third Side of the Coin" (historical stories embedded in ancient Jewish and modern coins), "From the Depths of the Archive" (documents from the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People), "Time Travel" (historical travel itineraries in the Land of Israel), "Real Time" (interviews with people making history), "The Song Returns Again" (background stories behind Hebrew songs), "The Art of History" (artists and art in a Jewish-historical context), and "Crosswords and Puzzles" with a historical orientation. Reviews of plays, films, and exhibitions related to Jewish history also appear. Segulah was part of the "Tochnit Tikshoret" (תכלת תקשורת) group until early 2019, after which it became an independent publication. The publisher is Shlomo Ben-Tzvi. The Hebrew edition was edited by Yoav Sorek, followed by Dr. Itamar Brenner and Dr. Amit Assis; the current editor is Dr. Roey Horen. The English edition is edited by Sarah Joe Ben-Tzvi, the publisher's wife. Contributors have included Tamar Hirdani, Dr. Nir Mann, Rabbi Yaakov Medan, Reuven Gafni, Dr. Hagai Misgav, Dr. Yamima Hovav, Hayuta Deutsch, Tehilla Bigman, Moti Benmelech, and historian Udi Manor, among others. Illustrators have included Menachem Halberstadt, Moshik Golast, Nehemia Bez, Shay Charka, Michel Kichka, and Noam Nadav. The magazine's online presence at segulamag.com offers selected articles and a digital reading experience, with content spanning archaeology, art, the Bible, the Middle Ages, antiquity, holidays, and state history.

Segulah was launched in April 2010 as a Hebrew-language monthly magazine devoted to public history. It was established within the "Tochnit Tikshoret" (תכלת תקשורת) group and was associated with the newspaper Makor Rishon; the "Portrait With" (דיוקן עם) series, whose first twenty installments appeared in Makor Rishon, continued in the new magazine. The publication was announced in April 2010 as a new history magazine from the Makor Rishon house, and it was described at the time as a new magazine that would replace the newspaper 'Nekuda'. From its founding, the magazine set out to cover the history of the Jewish people and general history, based on the view that the Jewish people have an important part in world history and in the historical processes that lead humanity. It has been published monthly in Hebrew, with a parallel English edition appearing every two months. The magazine was part of the Tochnit Tikshoret group until early 2019, when it became an independent publication. The publisher is Shlomo Ben-Tzvi.

Over the years Segulah has maintained a stable format of about 80 glossy pages per issue, typically containing around four major articles on social phenomena, historical events, or historical figures, alongside a set of regular columns.
