Israel365 News has officially crossed the 100,000 subscriber threshold on YouTube, marking a landmark achievement for the Beit Shemesh-based media organization founded by Rabbi Tuly Weisz.

“We are proud that our pro-Israel educational and advocacy content is reaching so many people around the world,” said Rabbi Weisz. “We are in an informational war and more and more people are making up their minds after watching videos on YouTube, which is why we have invested so much in this platform.”

The Israel365 News channel, established on Janueary 1, 2012 has grown into one of the most recognizable pro-Israel voices on the platform, amassing over 1,500 videos and approximately 15 million views. Its all-time most-watched video — a musical piece, Hevenu Shalom Alechem — has drawn nearly 3 million views on its own, reflecting the channel’s early roots in Israeli music and culture content.

The path to 100,000 subscribers, however, was largely paved by a dramatic growth surge that began since the October 7th war. Monthly views tripled to over 100,000 almost overnight, eventually peaking at more than 1.1 million views in May 2026. The engine behind that surge: a high-frequency publishing strategy averaging over 20 videos per month, anchored by the channel’s sharply-branded news analysis series led by Rabbi Pesach Wolicki. Videos breaking down the October 7th Hamas attack and Iran’s regional ambitions each drew over 400,000 views, bringing tens of thousands of new subscribers into the fold.

“When I was handed the keys to run the Israel365 News channel with 29,000 cold subscribers in late 2024, I always had 100,000 subscribers as my big goal,” said Aharon Mendlowitz, who has led the channel’s editorial and growth strategy through the surge period.

In the roughly eighteen months since Mendlowitz took the helm, the channel published 413 videos and more than tripled its subscriber base — a pace of growth that reflects both the heightened global interest in Israeli affairs and Israel365’s increasingly prominent role in delivering news and analysis to a worldwide audience of Jews and Christian supporters of Israel.

The 100,000-subscriber milestone on YouTube comes with the platform’s coveted Silver Play Button award, a tangible recognition of the community Israel365 News has built over more than a decade of content creation.
