What remains when everything is deteriorating? When the ground is slipping from beneath our feet - this is the time for a different space. When the cultural foundation is fundamentally changing - there is a need for new foundations. When the entire system is corrupting and passing the point of no return - it's time for an editorial
This is not an alternative culture magazine, but a magazine of alternative culture - an alternative to the decline of culture, literature, academia, and the elite in the country; all of these are subject to a constant process of deterioration. The degeneration of the nation has crossed the point where it can be fixed (from within), and requires the establishment of a new space, virtual and conceptual, which is a combination of profound parody and wild seriousness. Here you will find articles and essays in all fields of knowledge you can think of (and many you can't), and you will discover a particularly original alternative to our anti-cultural current affairs, to the intellectual banality of our times, and to our stale literature.
Among other things, you will find here:
-
In Philosophy: A selection of essays and articles presenting the "Philosophy of Learning," which is an innovative philosophical paradigm that seeks to replace
the philosophy of language,
the dominant philosophical paradigm in our culture since the beginning of the 20th century. In doing so, it creates a paradigm shift in thinking across the entire culture. The essays with which it's worth starting to open up the world of this school: here and here.
-
In Prose: The complete literary work of "Black Circle", the most original voice in Hebrew literature in the 21st century, whose trilogy
- which rethinks from the ground up every foundation and element in the act of narration - was published on our site, along with a variety of satirical dreams
and an interactive
branching book. Circle is one of those rare writers whose writing is a special genre in itself - and the result is an unprecedented body of literary work (and not just by local standards): such prose has never been written or read before. The reviews to start with, in order to get keys to this unique writing:
here and here.

-
In Poetry: A completely new poetic style for Hebrew poetry, combining influences from Lucretius and liturgy - offered by the Singing Chief Rabbi [Translator's note: KBR is an acronym that could mean Chief Rabbi]. The Chief Rabbi's poetry began with an intellectual style
that was programmatic in terms of themes, but free, light, and songlike in form, and evolved in his later poetry
into a
mature and meticulous feline wailing style.
-
In Criticism: The Bitch [Translator's note: "Kalba" in Hebrew means female dog] is responsible for biting criticism of the competitor, whose teeth have fallen out. The summarizing reviews (it's always worth starting from the end): here and here.

From the Web: The selected weekly posts
from Hebrew cultural Facebook,
lest they be lost in the abyss of oblivion. Update: We've moved to Twitter - here. Our old Facebook group - here.
Today, the site is a comprehensive cultural enterprise - its scope and breadth are unprecedented in the Hebrew web (about 400 pages of articles, about 10 books, and about 600,000 words) - and serves as an intellectual and creative home for a leading Israeli school that formed in it during the late Netanyahu era: the Netanya School (which in its diversity is perhaps second only to the School of Athens...). The site contains within it an exceptional intellectual and artistic universe by any measure, while engaging in serious, deep, flooding and sometimes obsessive renewal of contemporary culture, in the technological disruption it is undergoing, and in futuristic culture - that is, in the most burning issues standing on the work table of our culture (and threatening to leave only ashes of it). Wonder you haven't heard about it?
