In their letter, the rabbis write that they have heard that the journal is full of Lashon Hara, Minut and Bizuy Talmidei Chachamim and therefore announce that it is forbidden to purchase it let alone read it: ”על שמועה כי באה שהשבועון צופר שהוא מלא לשה”ר ומינות וביזוי ת”ח, מתפשט בין בני הנעורים ועשה שמות רח”ל מנפש עד בשר מכלה. לכן אנו מודיעים בכח תורה”ק שאסור לשום בר ישראל להכניס בביתו עלון זה וכ”ש שלא לקרות בו.... חוב קדוש להזהיר גדולים על הקטנים להתרחק מעתון זה...”. At the time, there were several types of religious/Chareidi media which were mere Kelipat Nogah... Today, Chareidi journals have come a long way, both spiritually and materially, in the quality of their content and their pleasant format.  The letter is signed by the rabbis, the Geonim members of the Badatz:  ~ Posek Haodr Maran Rabbi Yitzchak Yaakov Weiss the author of the Minchat Yitzchak  ~ The Gaon Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Freund Gaon Av Beit Din of HaEidah HaChareidit ~ The Admor Rabbi Yisrael Moshe Dushinsky Gaon Av Beit Din of HaEidah HaChareidit ~ The Gaon Rabbi Yisrael Yaakov Fischer Rosh Av Beit Din of HaEidah HaChareidit   ~ The Gaon Rabbi Binyamin Rabinovich, Rabbi Binyamin Hatzaddik, Gaon Av Beit Din of Mishkenot Haro'im ~ The Gaon Rabbi Avraham David Horowitz Av Beit Din of Strasburg.  16.5X21 cm.  Fold lines.
