I would like to see pictures of Distinguished Chusheva Rebitzins & Oustanding women in our society that are constantly in Mishpacha Magazine. If a childhood picture is allowed, then show us how she looked in childhood. At least in Family First, which is a womens magazine.
What is your opinion?

Were the photos this week in the men's main Mishpacha absolutely necessary ???? What is your opinion? What made them decide to veer from policy???
I feel terrible for parents losing a child, but this is a separate issue.

I'd love to have, at least a small head picture when presenting a special woman.

I was very surprised. Very pleasantly surprised.
Also I think you meant the family magazine , not the men's magazine. I wasn't aware that Mishpacha has a men's magazine.

The pictures were relevant as the story was discussing the girls growing up experience. It made sense in the context and added meaning.

If you had a story on a rebbitzen, would it make you feel better to see a picture of this rebbitzen when she was 5 or 6? When the story is discussing her legacy and says she passed away at 86 right near a picture of her from second grade?

If you are fighting the "how come no pictures of rebbitzens " fight then it's a different story, I don't think showing pictures of a 2cd grader in context with the story of a girl growing up and so on is the same. They didn't print pictures of her as a young adult, they show some of her hair and her shoe in the picture with the Krula Rebbe in the hospital. They printed artwork that she sketched as a young adult.

I have not seen pictures of second grade girls in men's Mishpacha or Family First.
Yes, I would opt for childhood picture rather than a picture of husband and/or sons of article about a woman.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised too!
A step in the right direction

I think the Family First is marketed as a women's magazine, but the Mishpacha is not a 'men's' magazine as far as I understand.

Unfortunately she is not with us. No man will have a tavah over a women that is not with us anymore. So therefore people are much quicker to be mateer

Which begs the question: what about other women who are no longer with us?

It would be disrespectful torward the women in question to print their pictures in a public forum. Most distinguished chashive rebbitzens would be upset and it is in line with the wishes of those that are no longer with us not to print it. yes there are some that would not mind and those can and should be printed.

Op, to me it sounds like you're saying you'd rather see a childhood picture of a rebbetzin than a picture of a beautiful neshama who saw so much rejection yet tried fighting until she couldn't. It sounds like you're offending the memory of Malky Klein a"h. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like your post is in VERY poor taste. To say the least.
(Also, there is no "main men's part." There is the Mishpacha, which is a family magazine, and the family first, which is the women's magazine.)

I don't think she is offending her memory. I just think op is saying when there is an article about a reb bitten put in s picture from when she is young instead of a picture of her husband.

This issue with Malky Klien is very difficult. Because anything anyone says or does is offensive to either Malky or her family or a rejection of their pain.

1. I have no problem with women in magazines.
2. Your statement is completely untrue.
3. They have no problem with pictures of young girls, and much of the article discussed malkis youth. So the photos were relevant.
4. I imagine that her family may have requested to put in photos. Whereas many other families would not make the same request regarding their family member.

Seriously? A picture of a rebbetzin as a little girl would be better than a picture of her husband? I really dont think so. I think its the same if not worse. If they dont want to put a picture of any females, then put something else, a flower, a shul, but not the person in quesiton when she was little. It demeans the person who they are talking about as they are at present (even if not alive)

I was extremely impressed with the article and the editorial decision regarding the accompanying pictures.

I would suggest that those who feel similarly, including cnc and Amother Honeydew from above, please take a moment to write a quick note of support to the editors at Mishpacha (inbox@mishpacha.com, editor@mishpacha.com) since I would imagine that anyone who is in opposition will be writing them too and it is important that they hear supportive voices from their readership.

Just to clarify as I'm unfamiliar with this magazine, what's the difference in content between the family magazine and the women's magazine?
