Journalist Yitzhak Nachshoni, considered by many to be the "father of ultra-Orthodox journalism," passed away on Monday at the age of 69 after a battle with a serious illness.
He began his journalistic career at the newspaper "Baska" and as an editor at Kol Israel Radio. He served at the Army Radio station, after being the first ultra-Orthodox to pass the screening, a year after the Yom Kippur War. Later he served as spokesman for the military rabbinate and founded a weekly called "Friday".

In 2001 he was appointed program editor at Kol Chai radio, and in 2010 he was appointed editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Center of Affairs". He retired in 2021. Over the past two years, he has served as a commentator on ultra-Orthodox affairs in various media outlets in Israel.
Over the years, he trained many of the ultra-Orthodox journalists who are active today and is considered the "elder of the tribe." HIS SONS ALSO WORK IN THE FIELD OF COMMUNICATIONS, YEHUDA, CEO OF THE "FAMILY" GROUP, AND KOBI, A RELIGIONS REPORTER FOR YNET. His brother is the Rabbi of Rishon LeZion, Rabbi Moshe Nachshoni.
