It was done as part of "Book Week", which is celebrated every year around this time in Israel. They got some of Israel's leading writers like David Grossman and Etgar Keret to take part and some of the stories are excellent.

My favorite touch was the weather report, which contains a poem for summer written by one of Israel's best known poets, Roni Somek. The weather reports talks of hot & humid early summer weather, and he writes (roughly translated):

  Summer is the least
  sharp pencil of the seasons' box
  I write with it
  a love letter
  to the tailor who cut off
  the women's blouses
  and skirts
  a few inches
  of winter.
  This year too, perhaps
  it will be hot in the valleys

(BTW, in general, Haaretz in English is quite different and better quality than the Hebrew version. This is perhaps why Haaretz is held in much higher regard outside Israel.)

My tour guide in Israel was a former Haaretz English translator and he nitpicked several things in my English copy, saying their translators had gotten sloppy since he left.

(This is true for most of Israeli media, btw, it's just that Haaretz is for some reason held at higher regard by outsiders)

All this seems to affect the English version less, probably because it contains a small number of editors/writers relative to the Hebrew one, and they tend to have learned their craft in the US/UK, which still have far better journalism standards than most of the world.
