Mishkafayim

For its first two years, Mishkafayim was a joint project of the Israel Museum’s youth wing and the weekly magazine, Koteret Rashit (Hebrew for “main headline”).

As a result, from the sixth issue onward, the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth replaced Koteret Rashit as a partner in the publication of Mishkafayim.

It was a multidisciplinary magazine dedicated to culture that combined written and visual content, providing a stage to new and established writers, artists, and illustrators.

In 1996, after two years of editing both magazines, Tamir Rauner left Mishkafayim and editor Smadar Tirosh replaced him starting with issue 26.

Each issue of Mishkafayim was dedicated to a main theme, such as drawing, writing, portraiture, comics, photography, legend, light, games, packaging, chair, material, illustration, artists, nature, movement, childhood, love, politics, time, sex and art, heroes, forgery, language, madness, dreams, maps, television, food, earth, and stone.
