The frum Papers all came out with their Shavuos editions. Interestingly while Ami ran with Post Asifa coverage and a shavuos interview with the rosh yeshiva of MTJ Staten Island Harav reuvain feinstein. The Yated Ne'eman had a special insert on the Asifa but, did not cover the Asifa at all except for paid advertisements from ichud hakehilos. It was not mentioned in the editorial or other news items.(The yated goes by the daas torah of the Philadelphia Rosh yeshiva who was did not support the Asifa).Mishpacha Magazine, had a cover story on the New Viznitz rebbe in EY Rav Yisrael hager,as well as an interesting article on the Posek of brisk Rav Simcha Zelig Rieger. The Kulmus section which is included in the Tom Tov issue was informative with various articles such as what was told to Moshe rabbeinu on har sinai,and which Mitzvos were kept before matan torah.
Hamodia had the most Asifa coverage. Included in the magazine section were articles on 100 years since the Katowice conference in 1912 and the establishment of Agudas yisrael. In the spirit of Shavuis an article about a Ger tzedek from Poland who talks about his journey to Judaism.
Zman magazine landed an interview with Michael Medved a Baal teshuva and one of the nations leading talk show hosts.
Mishpacha is printed in Israel, it may have gone to print before the asifa, lets see if this coming weeks mishpacha will cover it.
ReplyDeleteZman is a monthly publication, doesn't specialize in current events, and probably also went to print before the asifa. So basicly, all those who are printed localy and cover current events (Yated, hamodia and ami) did cover the asifa
The American Yated did not cover the asifa at all and rightfully so. The majority of the Roshei yeshiva in the US even those who attended did not initialy approve of sending the yeshivos there. some of the organizers showed total disrespect to the litvisher roshei yeshiva and daas torah in america.
ReplyDeleteThe american yated had an insert with full coverage
ReplyDeleteThere was an insert, but the paper did not cover it in any news articles nor in the famed weekly editorial. The asifa did not have the support of many roshei yeshiva and for that the yated stood up for kavod hatorah.and did not report on it.
DeleteThen why the insert
Deletewell they still have to sell papers and cover a huge event. However the yated was not suppoortive of the asifa at all. The weeks leading up to it there was no mention except for paid ads by the ichud hakehilos.
DeleteSoooo, did you see the cover of this weeks mishpacha?
ReplyDeleteDid not see it yet,but there was no mention at all about Miahpacha not covering the Asifa intentionaly. The only one mentioned was the Yated.
