A Hebrew Mishpacha Magazine team was granted permission to begin a comprehensive piece covering the span of the life of HaGaon HaRav Shmuel Halevy Wosner Shlita as the gadol hador enters his 100th year.
Hours were devoted to interviews and editing as they sought to report to readers on the life of a man who became the Torah giant that he is.
It appears that as they were finalizing the report, gabbaim of the gadol hador phoned to explain that Rav Wosner stated the article “גורמת לו צער”, that the planned story is a source of discomfort for him, and at the rav’s behest, Mishpacha immediately removed the article and decided it would not be published.

excellent news. it is gratifying to see a news organization put emunas chachamim over profit.
they’ll save it for after 120
Impressive when a media organ is able to put the right thing before what sells
kol hakavod
To be honest, the yom tov issue is so nice that it isnt lacking anything.
Kol Hakavod to Mishpocho Magazine!
Kudos to Mishpacha for doing the correct thing and not causing the Posek HaDor any tzar.
kol hakovod to mishpacha for considering other’s feelings before theirs and their pocket book.
