Bitayavon, a new publication featuring gourmet kosher recipes and insightful articles, was recognized by the Magazine Innovation Center as one of 2011’s hottest magazine launches. Bitayavon, which features gourmet kosher recipes not only for Jewish holidays and Shabbos dinners, but for every day, was chosen from a group of over 800 new consumer titles published from October 2010 to September 2011.
“When I select a magazine as a hot launch, it is based on the vision, values and voice of that magazine.” says Dr. Samir Husni, founder and director of the Magazine Innovation Center at the University of Mississippi’s Meek School of Journalism and New Media. “In 2011, Bitayavon exemplified every criteria and I personally felt deserved the honor and award.”
The fact that the Bitayavon, gourmet kosher magazine, is the first Jewish publication to receive such recognition is a reflection of the growing numbers, influence and needs of the kosher community.
Launched in February 2011 as a 40-page local magazine in Brooklyn, New York, Bitayavon has since grown to a 76-page magazine sold worldwide in kosher specialty stores, supermarket chains, at newsstands, and retail outlets such as Barnes and Noble. The mission of the magazine is to create a modern culinary publication that appeals to everyone who loves good food, as well as those that keep completely kosher.
“You don’t have to keep kosher to love the recipes, tips and information we provide to our readers,” say Shlomo and Shifra Klein, co-founders and publishers of Bitayavon. “We are all about revolutionizing the concept of kosher cooking to meet the needs of the growing kosher foodie population as well as those who look for easy and affordable recipe and meal ideas.”
The bi-monthly magazine provides readers with gourmet kosher recipes, tips, and insightful articles related to the kosher lifestyle. A digital version of Bitayavon will be available in the near future.

Nice to see kosher stuff done on such a proffessional level, really is a kidush hashem
Go Shifra and Shloimie!! At a time when the frum world is receiving so much negative publicity, you guys managed to make an incredible Kiddush Hashem!! The nachas you give to the Rebbe with this success, is just like every other shliach who works his tail off to support all that lubavitch stands for! May all the Rebbe’s brochos rain down on you two, your family, and your magazine.
