Israel's organization of technical/marcom writers and copy editors
Esther Shira Stepansky takes us on a humorous adventure in the modern day land of Chelm as we look at some of the challenges of making aliyah and finding work in Israel. Making aliyah is supposed to be the fulfillment of my of your Jewish identity, so why does Israel make it so difficult?
Part of the fun of learning to “be Israeli” is learning how to shop here. Years ago, I was told that if you do not try to bargain, the shopkeeper will be offended. I think those days are long gone, but I have learned that thing are a lot more flexible here than you might imagine.

Originally based in what has become Israel's 2nd largest R&D center (Yokneam), Elephant brings together technical and marcom writers from all over Israel. Behind the scenes and between meetings, members stay in contact with job offers and leads, joint projects, and professional assistance.
I’m a technical writer with five years of experience, specializing in developer tools, AI products, and security software. My most recent work is end-to-end documentation for an agentic code review platform, covering cloud and self-hosted deployments, Git provider integrations, and configuration references. I’ve also written user guides, API documentation, and release notes for cybersecurity, automation, and analytics companies.
My strongest area is AI-assisted documentation. I set up AI agents like Claude Code to follow a style guide, review pages for quality, and keep docs consistent at scale. I also work docs-as-code with Git, Markdown/MDX, and Mintlify, and I’m comfortable restructuring large documentation sets around the user journey.
Using the wrong technical writer is like using a wrench to open a door, it works, but a door knob is better and cheaper. Elephant was started to help match writers and copy editors with companies where their skills match company needs.
