Beleichtungen is the newer version of Das Yiddishe Licht which was published weekly in Jerusalem. Unlike its forerunner and umbrella company, it follows a more modern style with a more sophisticated graphic layout. While Das Yiddishe Licht had a paper cover including only a picture of another jewish leader, Beleichtungen is printed in glossy paper, and in full colored graphic. Das Yiddishe Licht was founded by R' Moshe Ehrntal, an activist of the Yishuv haYashan and had his fingerprints.

Beleichtungen has semi-scholarly articles just like the Maalos, but it favors a more down-to-earth style which is favored by women and children.

The main distribution method of Beleichtungen is by mail subscription.
