The American ''Yated Ne'eman'' was founded as a spinoff of its [[Israel]]i parent, also named [[Yated Ne'eman (Israel)|Yated Ne'eman]], which itself was established in 1985 by [[Elazar Shach]]<ref name=TheREPORTERbook>{{cite book |
|||
The origins of the American Yated are to be found in the history behind the establishment of its direct Israeli counterpart, [[Yated Ne'eman (Israel)]] (which was itself established over differences of editorial opinion with [[Hamodia]]) . In addition, the American Haredi rabbis were searching for an alternate mouthpiece for their views since the widest read Orthodox Jewish weekly in the New York area, ''[[The Jewish Press]]'' was privately owned, too independent, and expressed more of a pro-[[Israel]] [[Religious Zionism|Religious Zionist]] and [[Modern Orthodox Judaism|Modern Orthodox]] point of view, and the widely read [[UJA]] supported ''[[The Jewish Week]]'' was open to non-Orthodox articles and editors, who were often opposed to the views of Haredi Judaism. In the 1990s the United States edition of Yated severed its relationship with the [[Israel]]i edition over perceived [[conservative]] religious-leanings at the Israeli paper. |

Directly based on its Israeli counterpart, the name of the Yated is based on the Hebrew phrase "''yated ne'eman''" which literally refers to a peg strongly anchored in the ground, and is used figuratively to describe a secure connection or something which can be relied upon. The name was supposedly given by Rabbi [[Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky]] (1899–1985) and comes from [[Book of Isaiah|Isaiah]] 22:23, "ותקעתיו '''יתד''', במקום '''נאמן'''", translated as "And I will fasten him as '''a nail''' in a '''sure''' place", or as "I will drive him like '''a peg''' in a '''firm''' place". |

Yated Ne'eman is an American weekly newspaper and magazine.[1] Published in the English-language, it is a Haredi publication based in Brick, New Jersey, and distributed in most large metropolitan areas where Orthodox Jews reside. Israeli newspaper Haaretz describes Yated Ne'eman as one of the "most powerful" newspapers in the Haredi community.[4]
A Hebrew language newspaper by the same name is published in Israel. While the two newspapers were originally affiliated, they are currently operating independently.
History
[edit]The American Yated Ne'eman was founded as a spinoff of its Israeli parent, also named Yated Ne'eman, which itself was established in 1985 by Elazar Shach[5]: pp.39–40 over differences of editorial opinion with Hamodia.[6] This was a result of American Haredi rabbis seeking an alternative outlet for their views, since the widely read Orthodox Jewish weekly in the New York area, The Jewish Press, was privately owned, too independent, and expressed more of a Modern Orthodox and Religious Zionist point of view. The UJA-supported Jewish Week was similarly considered inappropriate.
The publication's name, supposedly attributed to Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, is derived from a phrase in Hebrew scripture which translates as 'a peg strongly anchored in terra firma'.[7] It is meant to figuratively describe a secure connection or something which can be relied upon.[2]
In the 1990s, the American Yated severed its relationship with the Israeli edition over perceived complex religious leanings there.[8]
The current publisher is Pinchos Lipschutz, who resides in Lakewood Township, New Jersey.[1][9][10]
Editorial policy
[edit]Yated Ne'eman's opinions generally reflect the positions and policies of Agudath Israel of America and its leadership body, the American Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (Council of Torah Sages). Its views on Orthodox Jewish education for example are based upon the educational policies of the rabbis that guide Torah Umesorah - National Society for Hebrew Day Schools. However, its right-wing tendency is sometimes at odds with the rabbinic leadership of Haredi Judaism, who often prefer a more pragmatic, nuanced approach to political issues. The publication, as do most of those within its genre, adhere to a strict interpretation of tzniut that prohibits photographs of women on its pages and website.[2][9]
Israeli politics
[edit]Yated Ne'eman reports Israeli news extensively, keeping track of social trends, political developments, and military affairs. Its political stance tends to toe the party line of Degel HaTorah, as can be evidenced by the frequent publication of photos extolling the activities of Degel's leaders, such as Chaim Kanievsky.[11]
Significance
[edit]The growth of Yated Ne'eman reflects the emergence of a uniquely English-speaking Yeshiva community in the United States that sees itself as independent from the non-Orthodox institutions of earlier generations. Its articles, editorials, photos and advertisements are strictly controlled by the editorial board to reflect the religious mores of the American yeshiva world, as practiced in institutions such as New Jersey's Beth Medrash Govoha, New York's Yeshiva Torah Vodaas and Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin, and Maryland's Yeshivas Ner Yisroel.
