Zman was nice - very in depth analysis' of current news issues. interesting read - no fluff hindarochel, but some of the articles just went on a tiny bit tooo long.
Bought Shaah tovah for the first time, because I was interested in seeing what they had to write on london. Sorry I was very very dissapointed at the writing quality, it sounded like the magazine was aimed for 7-12 year olds. Anybody else buy it?

My friend and I both tried Shaah tovah and both thought that the pages smelled bad. I wonder if that's just in Israel. I would buy it again if they change that.

I read Sha'ah tova as well just the other week. It really felt like Mischpacha, Binah, etc. I want something a bit different.
I'll try Zman if I can figure out where I can get it. Thank you!
I really wish there were a Jewish World & I, or a science magazine that comes from a frum, Jewish perspective.
Dh and I for the kids ordered Segula, the history magazine. Here's hoping. Mainly it is for my girls, but I'm hoping to enjoy it as well.

I will be careful the way I say this as I'm sure there are plenty of women here who follow Rabbi Wachsman's Derech and agree with his views. Personally, I found his article very negative. Instead of focusing on what one is[I][b] allowed to do, the main focus on how so many things are not allowed. A way that would many many youngsters feel like they're going to hell for wanting a couple more dates to decide if its for them. |
I think that for those who don't, if they read something that's off-putting they should go to their local rebbetzin or good sounding board. Maybe it could be reframed in a way that resonates, or maybe not, in which case it may not be THEIR derech but it IS a legitimate derech.

Sha'ah Tovah -I bought it twice, and I agree.
The language is very childish.
I would not buy it again.

Problem is that it's very translated, by (probably) unprofessionals.

Shvach lately. The old ones (yrs ago) were way better.

They're smaller, as they're now monthly, and still adds up. I've treated myself before a yom tov but that's about it. I wonder if, like the JO, having to face the weeklies, it'll eventually become irrelevant. I hope not.
