At first, the publishers refused to produce an internet edition of Hamodia, but it now exists.
The English edition of Hamodia enjoys a wide circulation. It was first printed on February 27, 1998 as a weekly paper and on December 15, 2003 it expanded to include a daily publication as well. The daily edition is published from Monday to Friday, with no edition appearing on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) and Jewish religious holidays. The weekly edition is printed on Wednesdays, and includes expanded sections and a glossy magazine.
In 2008 a French weekly version was introduced and enjoys a wide circulation both in the French speaking community in Israel and in France itself.
The English-language Hamodia is published in four editions: United States (daily and weekly), Israel (weekly only), Australia (weekly only) and England (weekly only. The daily edition of the American Hamodia is also available in a digital online edition.
