Lior: I didn’t say Richard Joel or Dr. Rb. Stormin’ Norman Lamm. Rabbi Hershel Schachter comes from a very different viewpoint which the Novominsker (like many American Gedolim) would agree with.
Since the Yated is on the right & Mishpacha is on the left, would you care to contrast the two and why each is in their respective positions (in your opinion)?
I agree with Letakein Girl that the teen magazines are not as good as the general interest or women’s magazines. The teen stories focus a lot on cliques and bullying. There must be SOMETHING else going on in high school, but those topics get the coverage.
As far as the kid magazines go, my children agree with me that AIM is the best of them, with funny stories and witty articles on cool topics.
yep i agree i personally love family first and ami living and read all of them and like aim but its really for kids and also i feel like family first and ami living are for ladys and mishpacha and ami r for men
gaw: An example would be Yated’s strident and unyielding objection to drafting yeshiva students versus the magazines being more sympathetic to the secular’s position on the issue (albeit subtly while officially standing opposed to it.)
I disagree with the Novominsker being even comparable to Rabbi Schachter. Zionism is a big differentiator, and a major issue, and isn’t the only of their ideological differences.

Must be very subtle, because I haven’t seen it at all. In fact, Mishpacha had a number of symposiums in the NYC area to convince Yeshivish Americans of the correctness of the Charaidi position.
How do you know what they hold regarding the Medinah? Maybe they agree?
