I read this news paper whenever I can get my hands on it and I am a Reform Jew. It is a great paper and it opens my eyes up to all the issues regarding the Jewish Community as well as what is going on in Israel. I do thoroughly enjoy reading about all points of view, as this is a very conservative paper. I am very liberal minded. It has great articles inclusive of kashrut, torah and the like. Don't be scared away by the other reviewer if you are not Orthodox. You will enjoy this as it is well written. Maybe if we acted like one community instead of dividing ourselves will labels like, Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Modern Orthodox, Chasid, or Reconstructionist, we would better understand and respect each other than continue to be divided by what is different in our philosopies. Anyhow, fantastic newspaper for all to enjoy!This is a newspaper for 'Orthodox Jews'. It contains columns on various questions of Torah, and also on questions of public interest to the community. It is very proIsrael in its political orientation, and would be considered in U.S. terms very 'conservative ' on social issues.
Among its most longterm and famous columnists are Morris Mandel, and Arnold Fine.
It also has many other features including bookreviews, a childrens' column.
It has a heimish quality and it is filled with advertisements and information largely for the New York City Jewish community.
