We Are in America is a free, Hebrew-language monthly magazine created for Jewish Israelis living in the United States. Its coverage centers on culture, community life and experiences associated with Jewish Israeli identity. Las Vegas is included among the communities reached by the publication, alongside parts of Southern California.

The magazine was founded in 2006, and its first issue appeared in August of that year. Eyal Shemesh publishes the magazine, while Ayala Or-el serves as editor-in-chief. The publication is also available online, extending its audience beyond its print distribution.

According to the supplied information, the magazine reaches about 10,000 Jewish households across its broader distribution area. That area includes the Greater Los Angeles region, the San Fernando Valley, Orange County, San Diego County, Ventura County and Las Vegas. The source separately estimates about 150,000 online readers each month. Those figures describe the magazine’s overall reach rather than a Las Vegas-specific readership total.

Its subject matter spans everyday life, identity and community. The publication includes material on religion, Judaism, relationships, psychology, physical health and political opinions. It also covers community events, film reviews, travel and outdoor activities. The range suggests a publication designed not only as a news source, but also as a cultural and social guide for Hebrew-speaking Jewish Israeli readers in the United States.

The magazine’s event involvement includes sponsorship of local Jewish Israeli activities during the year. The examples provided in the source are the Israel Film Festival and The Big Jewish Tent. The extract does not specify which events take place in Las Vegas, nor does it identify a Las Vegas editorial office, staff or dedicated section.

Most of the magazine’s regular contributors lived on the West Coast as of 2012, according to the source. That regional connection is consistent with the publication’s stated distribution across Southern California and Nevada, while the online edition gives its content a wider potential audience.

For Las Vegas readers seeking Hebrew-language material connected to Jewish Israeli culture and community life, We Are in America provides a publication with a documented presence in the market. The available information does not establish the size of its Nevada readership or detail its local programming, so those questions would require confirmation from the magazine or additional reporting.
