I cannot imagine R’ Yaakov saying something derogatory about the first Jewish/ENGLISH paper for the frum masses. I fondly remember reading it since my early childhood, as soon as I learned to read.
I avidly followed the adventures of Sheindel and Breindel, loved the Stories From the Midrash and Tales of the Gaonim (or whatever theyare called), and I loved reading the advice columns, and I Remember When stories. Rabbi Klass OH”S’ halacha column always had something interesting to say, and reading this paper was my special Shabbos treat. Today, I especially am impressed with all the “help” columns that are found there, even when I disagree with the advice.
