Corporate History

Rabinowitz, Inc. doing business as Bluelight Strategies registered under FARA in September 2025 for a foreign principal identified as B Yahad Natzliach — an Israeli organization whose name translates roughly to "Together We Will Succeed" in Hebrew.

Bluelight Strategies is a strategic communications and public relations firm owned by Steve Rabinowitz, who filed a short form on registration and is its only short-form registrant. The Exhibit AB discloses Israel as the country of the foreign principal, though B Yahad Natzliach is a non-governmental Israeli entity rather than a direct government ministry.

The Exhibit AB (agreement dated September 7, 2025) says: "Registrant will seek to publicize in the news media a proposed peace agreement reached between the Foreign Principal and Palestinian leadership." It is a month-to-month retainer: $20,000 for the first month ($10,000 at signing and $10,000 at the end of the month), then $10,000 for each further month of public relations services. The registration statement reports a $10,000 deposit received from B'Yahad Natzliach on September 8, 2025.

At registration Bluelight Strategies filed four FARA documents: Registration Statement, Exhibit AB, Short Form, and Exhibit C. DOJ records the registration as terminated on March 31, 2026. The Supplemental Statement stamped April 30, 2026, covering the six months to March 31, 2026, reports that the registrant "received no funds from the Foreign principal during the reporting period" and made no disbursements, and gives March 31, 2026 as the date its connection with B'Yahad Natzliach ended. The Israeli principal B Yahad Natzliach is not one of the major government ministries (MFA, LAPAM/Tourism) but may be a civil society or advocacy organization with Israeli government ties.
