THE COMMUNITY’S FIRST AND STILL NUMBER ONE NEWS SOURCE

For over 25 years, the Orthodox Jewish community has turned to the Yated Ne’eman for accurate, intelligent news coverage. More than an interesting read, the Yated is part of the daily life of the Jewish community.

Before the Yated, there was no publication reaching this burgeoning market of leaders, professionals, rabbis, teachers and students of the Orthodox Jewish persuasion. We blazed the trail, building the affinity and respect of what has become a loyal readership who eagerly await our arrival every week.

The Yated Neeman is more than another weekly newspaper—it is the trusted conduit to the larger Jewish community, the nation and the world for tens of thousands.

No other paper has the respect and loyalty of its readers the way the Yated has.

announced over the weekend that he

Prime Minister binyamin

netanyahu told the knesset that

sunday’s attempt by syrian and

Palestinian enemies of Israel to stage

a wholesale invasion of Israel’s borders

was proof that they are not interested

in peace or the creation of a Palestinian

state, but rather the destruction of

Israel. “For those who orchestrated these

riots, 63 years of our independence

has not changed a thing. They yelled

that they want to return to Jaffa, to

the Galilee. And the head of hamas in

Gaza yelled that they want to see the

end of the Zionist enterprise, repeat-

ing the words voiced by his Iranian

patron,” the prime minister said at the

opening the knesset’s summer session.

netanyahu declared that it is the

Palestinian leadership and not Israel

that is responsible for the collapse of

the peace process. “We must stop beat-

ing ourselves up and blaming our-

selves,” he said. “The reason there is no

peace is that the Palestinians refuse to

recognize Israel as the Jewish people’s

nation-state.”

The prime minister also flatly re-

jected the idea of engaging once

A SHAMBY AVI YISHAIDuring the 1890s, there was a brisk

circulation war between the newspapersin New York City. The main competitionwas between the New York World, ownedby publisher Joseph Pulitzer, after whoma famous journalism prize has been named,and The New York Journal, owned byWilliam Randolph Hearst, owner of amajor nationwide chain of newspapers.

The competition tested their ability tocome up with the most sensational stories,with each newspaper more than willing toembellish the truth in order to make theirreports more interesting to their readers.The practice of exaggerating or making upnews stories to suit the business and/orpolitical interests of the publishers wassoon condemned by competing news-papers in the New York market and dubbed“yellow journalism.”The most notorious example of thepractice is a story which itself may be anembellishment of the truth. According to

COMMISSION FINDINGSLEAKING OUTBY SHMUEL LEEBIn his testimony before the Winograd commission last

month, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert claims that he had

made the decision to go to war in Lebanon as early as March

2006, four months before the war broke out. This contention

has been bitterly disputed by senior officers of the Israeli

army and members of the Knesset serving on its committee

overseeing defense.Olmert made the assertion that he discussed the

possibility of war in Lebanon with senior army commanders

several times before the war broke out, and even chose a

plan of strategic responses if Israeli soldiers were kidnapped.

He made the claim in order to defend himself against charges

that his government was unprepared for the war and that

his decisions governing Israeli military strategy during the

34-day conflict were made without a coherent plan.

ADVERTISER SUCCESS STORIES

Advertiser: Yitzchok Saftlas, President Bottom Line Marketing Group

Objectives: Bottom Line Marketing Group is committed to working with media that help our clients meet their business and marketing goals; and maximize every marketing dollar they invest. That is why I recommend the Yated Neeman to our clients.

Campaign: Bottom Line has been creating advertising and marketing campaigns for 16 years. We have used the Yated as part of our media campaigns for many of our corporate, political and non-profit clients. Recent successful client work includes full page color ads, black and white ad campaigns and free standing inserts.

Results: The Yated helps my clients reach their awareness, fundraising, branding and direct response objectives. I know that my clients are investing wisely when they advertise in the Yated. In fact, I also put my money where my mouth is. Bottom Line is also a Yated advertiser.

Due to our record of accomplishment on behalf of our readers and advertisers, campaigns in the Yated have been proven to be more effective than in competing publications. Having established an unparalleled degree of trust, readers view our advertisements in Yated as implicit recognition of a fine product deserving of their attention.

ADVERTISER SUCCESS STORIES

Advertiser: Norman Ballsiano President, Angel Of Debt Management, Inc

Objectives: It’s tough to identify which debt management companies are trustworthy. Too many are willing or work actively to take advantage of people. Several years ago, I recognized the need for these services in the community and an opportunity to help individuals in need. Unlike other companies, Angel of Debt’s fees are strictly performance based. In other words, we only get paid when we’re able to help our clients. We decided to advertise in the Yated Neeman as a way of letting people know about our company and services.

Campaign: One way to see if a company is legit is to see where it advertises. That’s why in addition to half page color ads, we also reserve space on the front cover. It’s an investment, but it’s worth every penny for the visibility, value and credibility that you get from being on the front page of a prestigious paper like the Yated.

Results: Working with staff at the Yated has been such enjoyment. They have gone above and beyond what we could have asked them to do. On behalf of the entire staff at Angels of Debt I would like to say thank you for seeing the value in our organization and for your hard work. We hope to continue this relationship as we see how great your circulation and promotional potential is. Thanks Yated!

Due to our record of accomplishment on behalf of our readers and advertisers, campaigns in the Yated have been proven to be more effective than in competing publications. Having established an unparalleled degree of trust, readers view our advertisements in Yated as implicit recognition of a fine product deserving of their attention.

THE EDITOR’S VIEW

Further testimony to the quality of our columns and the respect with which our writers are held are the many books published which consist of material that has appeared in our paper. Many of these works have gone on to become bestsellers, introducing even more readers to our newspaper.

The wealth of material we provide is not available anywhere else and can not be supplanted by glancing online, which provides neither the comfort nor portability we offer. Moreover the paper they can touch and feel as they read relates to them on a much deeper plane. This is something our readers treasure, look forward to and will never forsake.

AND FROM OUR WRITER’S

The Yated has received acclaim from all sectors of the Jewish community and beyond. Witness this testimony by Rush Limbaugh
