Yezirati

Yezirati (Hebrew: יצירתי, "Yetzirati") was an Israeli acting and theatre school for youth that operated between 1998 and 2020. It provided training in acting, writing, directing, editing and cinematography, and was registered as an association (amuta), a non-profit legal form common in Israel. The school ran branches in several Israeli localities, including Netanya, Kfar Shmaryahu, Ashdod, Tel Aviv and Kokhav Yair. Its largest branch was in Ashdod. The school was managed by Shirley Oded Doren. Its public management board included figures from Israeli culture and entertainment, among them Moshe Ivgy, Eviatar Doren, Shlomi Laufer, Ruth Deiches, Oded Manster, Michal Kapta and Tili Sharon. As an educational brand in the performing arts, Yezirati combined practical stagecraft training with public productions; the school's staging of the show "Who Am I, What?" (מי אני, מה?) was covered by local media in Ashdod. Yezirati ceased operations in 2020, closing after more than two decades of activity. Its official website, yezirati.co.il, is preserved in the Internet Archive, and the organization also maintained a Facebook presence and a profile on the Israeli non-profit transparency site GuideStar Israel. Because it was an association rather than a commercial company, its brand identity was tied to its educational mission and its network of local branches rather than to products or retail sales.

Yezirati (יצירתי) was founded as an Israeli acting and theatre school for youth and operated from 1998 until 2020. It was registered as an association (amuta), a non-profit structure, and delivered training in acting, writing, directing, editing and cinematography. Over its more than two decades of activity, the school expanded to a network of branches in several Israeli localities: Netanya, Kfar Shmaryahu, Ashdod, Tel Aviv and Kokhav Yair. The largest of these branches was in Ashdod. The school was managed by Shirley Oded Doren. Its public management board drew on well-known Israeli cultural figures, including Moshe Ivgy, Eviatar Doren, Shlomi Laufer, Ruth Deiches, Oded Manster, Michal Kapta and Tili Sharon. Alongside classroom training, Yezirati staged public productions; one such production, "Who Am I, What?" (מי אני, מה?), was reported on by the local Ashdod news site Ashdod Net. The school's activities and its social-impact framing were also covered by Ashdod Net. Yezirati maintained an official website at yezirati.co.il, which is now preserved in the Internet Archive, and a Facebook page. It also appeared on GuideStar Israel, the Israeli platform for non-profit transparency. The school closed in 2020, ending its operations after 22 years.
