According to a reliable inside source at Hamodia they have lost 100s of subscribers since they have raised their prices. Advertisers beware.
A year ago they offered a yearly subscription for under $80, now it is $13 a month which is $156 yearly. I think that is a very steep increase. If it went up to $100 yearly it would be a 25% increase which is high enough.
Now in 2021 they have a website Hamodia.com
That also are $5.00 for the weekly edition in NY &NJ and more in other areas.
They only offer a monthly subscription at $13-. No yearly subscription or discount is available.
I have been a long term subscriber, however it has gotten too expexpensive, and I have stopped subscribing.

It is amazing how no one wants to address the root cause of the problem. Support. Support. Support. When this support insanity stops there will be no more Shidduch crisis. One who is old enough to get married is old enough to support themselves.
Depends if you are male or female.
The reason that the Chasidim do not have this issue is because they do not expect the girl to support for years and years. If the boy is staying in learning it is a shared burden from both sides.
What irks me is that Hamodia would publish an ad from a phantom place.
The bottom line is – Why the need for a middleman who is not willing to reveal even who he is?
The Shidduch crisis would be easily resolved if
#1) (gulp) people would be more appreciative of those that attempt to Redt Shidduchim. Appreciative does not mean with money, it means saying “thank you for trying!”, and not saying “How dare you suggest this to me?”
#2) There is a reverse crisis by the Chasidim, where there are more older boys than girls. Would it be so bad if a girl from a Yeshivishe family marries a Chassidishe boy?
#3) Support for Kollel, should be equally divided by the boys and girls side.
The Nasi project is a pure Shanda. Not a single Rav is willing to say I support it openly, no one knows who runs the organization, and all they are looking for is more money from the girls. If you want to help out older singles offer outside money for those that make Shiduchim for them, don’t do a Toiva for those in need by recommending they lock up more of their money. Their response to criticism in this week’s Hamodia is pathetic, and should make anyone with a half a brain to tell them to come up with a better game plan.
As a Shadchan that has made a few Shidduchim, I am not looking to get paid if I am not successful, what I am looking for is a “thank you” if it does not work, not complaints such as “How dare you set me up with such a Shidduch”, or “What were you thinking” + Menshlichkeit such as returning phone calls in a prompt manner.
It is a continuation of the now defunct Sha’a Tovah magazine. Restarted in a more Mishpacha like format to try to be more competitive with them.
However there is only 1 blinky:)
There are many Yisachars. Think Rabbi Frand. Belzer Rebbe. Only few Zevulins. Anyone know of a Zanvil?
Has anyone ever met an Ashi, Chiya or Chisda?
You think that by DICTATING this letter you are goint to get people to change? if you are really concerned about people dictating what others should do, YOU should not dictate to them what to do, and they will learn from you. DO NOT CREATE AN UPROAR over nothing.
