⭐ Core Definition: Channel 2 (Israel)

Channel 2 (Hebrew: ערוץ שתיים, romanizedArutz Shtaim), also called "The Second Channel" (Hebrew: הערוץ השני, romanizedHaArutz HaSheni) was an Israeli commercial television channel. It started doing experimental broadcasts funded through a television licence tax. The channel started commercial broadcasting on 4 November 1993 regulated and managed by The Second Authority for Television and Radio. In its first years, the channel was operated by three broadcasters ("Keshet", "Reshet", and "Telad"), and in 2005 only two broadcasters were left while "Telad" stopped broadcasting due to its loss in the Second Authority's auction.

On 31 October 2017, 24 years after the channel started broadcasting, it was closed and split into two new channels: Keshet 12 and Reshet 13. The News Company that was founded alongside the Channel continued to broadcast news to both of the channels in parallel despite the split, but a few months after, after a merger between Reshet 13 and Arutz 10 channel, Reshet adopted Arutz 10's news company's broadcast, and the News Company started broadcasting exclusively on Keshet 12.

Channel 2 (Israel) in the context of Jewish prayer

Jewish prayer (Hebrew: תְּפִילָּה, tefilla [tfiˈla]; plural תְּפִילּוֹתtefillot [tfiˈlot]; Yiddish: תּפֿלה, romanizedtfile [ˈtfɪlə], plural תּפֿלות tfilles [ˈtfɪləs]; Yinglish: davening /ˈdɑːvənɪŋ/ from Yiddish דאַוון davn 'pray') is the prayer recitation that forms part of the observance of Rabbinic Judaism. These prayers, often with instructions and commentary, are found in the Siddur, the traditional Jewish prayer book.

Prayer, as a "service of the heart," is in principle a Torah-based commandment. It is mandatory for Jewish women and men. However, the rabbinic requirement to recite a specific prayer text does differentiate between men and women: Jewish men are obligated to recite three prayers each day within specific time ranges (zmanim), while, according to many approaches, women are only required to pray once or twice a day, and may not be required to recite a specific text.
