Maya Sasson, Editor
#

Asians in Israel is edited under the byline Maya Sasson — a pseudonym used by the site’s editor to preserve their privacy while keeping a single named, accountable point of contact for editorial decisions, corrections and submissions. Pseudonymous editorship is a long-standing journalistic practice; the site does not use anonymous bylines or generic “editorial team” personas, and every piece carries an attributed author.

The site has covered Israel’s Asian communities since 2024. Editorial decisions, restaurant reviews, embassy news and the business directory are curated by a single editor, with named community contributors credited where they appear.

What the editor covers personally
#

  • Restaurants and groceries — visited, eaten at, photographed where possible
  • Embassy and government news — read against primary sources (Hebrew and English) before writing
  • Community profiles — built from interviews and on-the-ground reporting
  • The directory — listings that have been visited in person or verified by phone

What this site does not do
#

  • Mechanical rewrites of other outlets’ news stories. News posts are gated by a local_angle requirement (interview, on-the-ground report, primary source, or community input) — see the editorial policy.
  • Auto-translated machine content as a substitute for editorial judgement. Language drafting is LLM-assisted, but sourcing, fact selection and editorial calls are made by the editor. Locales outside English and Hebrew are added only when the content is specifically of that community.
  • Anonymous bylines or generic “editorial team” personas. The Maya Sasson byline is consistent and stays attached to corrections.

Contributing
#

If you live in Israel and have direct knowledge of an Asian community here — Thai workers, Korean students, Filipino caregivers, mainland Chinese tech workers, Vietnamese restaurant operators, anyone — the editor would like to hear from you. Bylines are credited to you under your own name (or a pseudonym of your choosing), not folded under a generic site identity.
