History
The origins of the American Yated are to be found in the history behind the establishment of its direct Israeli counterpart, Yated Ne'eman (Israel) (which was itself established over differences of editorial opinion with Hamodia) . In addition, the American Haredi rabbis were searching for an alternate mouthpiece for their views since the widest read Orthodox Jewish weekly in the New York area, The Jewish Press was privately owned, too independent, and expressed more of a pro-Israel Religious Zionist and Modern Orthodox point of view, and the widely read UJA supported The Jewish Week was open to non-Orthodox articles and editors, who were often opposed to the views of Haredi Judaism. In the 1990s the United States edition of Yated severed its relationship with the Israeli edition over perceived conservative religious-leanings at the Israeli paper.
The current publisher is Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz, who resides in Monsey, New York.
