History

Matar Publishing House was founded in 1985 by the late Moshe Trivaks and his nephews Yitzhak and Bini Trivaks. The founders saw it as another link in the family tradition of publishing and distributing books that began in the 1920s with the late Yitzhak Trivaks, a journalist and writer in Poland and Palestine. Itzhak's son, the late Gavriel Trivaks, was the first distributor of the Hebrew Encyclopedia in the 1950s in Israel. Matar Publishing (Hebrew abbreviation of 'Trivaks family') is a natural continuation of their activities. From the outset, Matar set itself the goal of publishing popular high-quality titles and over the years over 1500 titles were published. The late Moshe Trivaks was a journalist, a pioneer in the public relations industry in Israel, a scholar and a cultural figure. He focused on developing international relations with literary agencies and publishers, and bringing innovative manuscripts to the Israeli reader. Matar was the first in Israel to recognize the importance of business and management guides as well as self-help literature.
