I hold no brief for the Jewish Press but what is all this “narishkeit”‘ about them hating black hatters and the like? They are black-hatters themselves!
As far as the apocryphal story about R”Yaakov Kaminetsky zz’l (or the gerrer rebbe in another version) I can attest that it is fiction-total fiction. The founder of the Jewish Press, Rav Uri Lipshutz z’l was very close to R’ Yaakbov and consulted him on everything. It is inconceivable that R”yaakov ever said this.

Reply to #4 – Well Said!!! You will always find those kind of individuals rushing to attack people before knowing the facts. The right thing for this attacker would be first to make a phone call to The Jewish Press and get the details before rushing to attacking them. The Jewish Press reacted right away on the best way by removing it imeaedidly. And btw that wasn’t an apology it was doing the right thing in the beginning.

The JP attacks Chareidim viciously every week multiple times.

The apology is very nice, albeit possibly for sales purposes only… but let’s look deeper here nothing is said by mistake, their deep hate for Black hatters is something they ought to change.

Not sure what’s more pathetic, this op-ed piece or the jp apology. There is more freedom of expression in Afghanistan.

The JP, like many businesses, knows that being PC is good business. I don’t see the apology as so meaningful, but then again, I thought the original headline was merely amusing.

“The respect that the Jewish Press has shown to the Gedolei Torah of all three segments of the Torah world is indeed laudable”

Huh? What are you talking about?! They are busy with Avi Weiss (someone showed me 2 weeks ago’s issue). If you’re in favor of the Maharat’s, then you’re against Torah MiSinia!
Remember: “Any publicity is good publicity” and “there is no such thing as bad publicity except for your own obituary”!
Bottom line: Most normal eople today, don’t even know the Jewish Press exists. This was a great ploy. I’m sure they got a lot of hits on their website for a day. They shouldn’t be trusted!
