Lesson plan

LaIsha

La'Isha ( , literally "For the Woman") is an Israeli women's magazine published weekly in Hebrew by the Yedioth Ahronoth media group. Founded in January 1947 as a supplement to the group's newspaper, it became a separately sold magazine in July that year. Communication scholar Einat Lachover has described it as the country's most popular and longest-running privately owned commercial women's magazine. The magazine combines service journalism on fashion, beauty, food, health, family life and consumer affairs with interviews, personal narratives and reporting on social issues. Researchers including Sonia Leiden, Moran Pollack and Einat Lachover have examined its changing representations of domesticity, paid employment and women's participation in public life, and the relationship between its commercial identity and its civic role. Its public initiatives include the Miss Israel pageant, held under its auspices from 1950 to 2021, and projects addressing sexual and domestic violence. A permanent redesign displaying a domestic violence helpline on every issue's spine received international advertising awards in 2026. Karina Shtotland has been editor-in-chief since 2014.
