Yated Ne'eman Commemorating 20 Years - A Historic Retrospective
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
VG CONDITION, HARDCOVER
"When reading the new Yated 20 Year Anniversary book, the overwhelming feeling one gets is that even more than the fact that the Yated has served as a defender against attacks in the negative sense is the positive contribution that the Yated has made to Klal Yisroel.
Throughout the past 20 years, the Yated has been one of the prime educational tools that has reached the entire cross-section of the Torah observant community. It has been a proactive educator, a source of chizuk, a source of Torah thoughts and Torah viewpoints. It has been a source of bracha in the homes of its tens of thousands of readers and perhaps we can say that it has simultaneously been the maggid shiur, the pulpit rabbi, the entertainer and the effecter of social change with the largest audience in the United States!
To truly appreciate the Yated book and the massive amount of information contained within, one must first appreciate what life was like 20 years ago, before the Yated arrived on the scene.
Prior to the Yated‘s debut on the scene, there was no paper that possessed the sanctity, the sensitivity, the tznius and, above all, the adherence to authentic Torah hashkafa as given over by the mesorah of the gedolei Torah in each generation.
The demarcation line that we underwent as a community in 1988, when the Torah community finally had its own newspaper, a paper attuned to their sensitivities, cannot be overemphasized. Some have classified it as the difference between growing up in the “Yated Generation” or before the “Yated Generation.”
Indeed, one letter in the book is from Rabbi Bunny Freedman of Detroit. Rabbi Freedman is a son of the late principal of Yeshiva Bais Yehuda of Detroit, Rav Avrohom Abba Freedman, a talmid muvhak of Rav Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz. Rav Freedman spent his entire life perpetuating Rav Shraga Feivel’s legacy. Reb Bunny writes, “In the 1980s, when Rabbi Pinny Lipschutz brought an English version of the Yated to America, my father felt that this was finally the fulfillment of Rav Shraga Feivel’s dream [to have a kosher media medium]. And I can tell you that when my father saw something that he viewed as the fulfillment of Rav Shraga Feivel’s vision, nothing would deter him from taking it on as his own steadfast mission in life. So, of course, everyone in his own family lobbied to become a subscriber. Once we were all hooked, he moved on and implored everybody he knew to become subscribers.”
Perhaps the always eloquent General Editors of ArtScroll/Mesorah, Rabbi Nosson Scherman and Rabbi Meir Zolotowitz, Torah pioneers in their own right, put it best in their contribution to the book. They write: “Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz absorbed the fire, grace, judgment and idealism of such earlier generations. He prefers to stay in the background, but it is undeniable that he is the pioneer of English language Torah journalism in the United States. He opened the way for others, but the Yated remains the newspaper of choice for thousands of Bnei Torah families. We at ArtScroll/Mesorah have always admired his accomplishments and been grateful for his recognition of our role in helping present the Torah to today’s Jews in their own language.
“When the English Yated published its first edition twenty years ago, the doubts far outnumbered the cheers. There is no need to enumerate the real and perceived pitfalls. They were many. But with allegiance to Daas Torah, impeccable editorial judgment, honesty, integrity, courage, stamina, discretion, and literary ability steeped in limud haTorah and hashkafas haTorah, Rabbi Lipschutz navigated the Yated to its position as one of the ramparts of Torah journalism. He paved the way for others, but he continues to grow the Yated and maintain its strong and respected position.”
Indeed, although the Yated paved the way for numerous other publications that have come along in the last decade, it is the Yated that set the standard.
Reading the book is truly not only a fun, nostalgic trip down memory lane, but also a window into appreciating the magnitude of the pioneering accomplishment of the Yated that persevered, against all odds, to become the source for the weekly Torah hashkafa and commentary about virtually every issue relevant to the Torah community over the past 20 years."
