A few weeks ago, online editor Yori Yanover was fired by The Jewish Press. I talk to him Monday night. <\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"http:\/\/forward.com\/articles\/194250\/jewish-press-fires-online-editor-yori-yanover-for\/#ixzz30HnLhQjw\">The Forward reported<\/a>: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A Brooklyn-based Jewish newspaper apologized for a column that was sharply critical of the haredi Orthodox community and fired its author.<br \/>\nThe Jewish Press dismissed Yori Yanover, its Israel-based online editor, after he published an article Monday with the headline \u201c50 Thousand Haredim March So Only Other Jews Die in War.\u201d<br \/>\nYanover was writing about a mass prayer rally of haredi Jews in Manhattan on Sunday against a proposed Israeli law to draft yeshiva students.<br \/>\n\u201cThey flooded downtown Manhattan with the anti-draft for Haredim message: everybody else is welcome to get themselves killed,\u201d Yanover wrote. \u201cWhat was even more astonishing was their honesty regarding the bankruptcy of their entire school of faith and study.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Jewish Press removed the article from its website. The paper\u2019s publishers, Jerry Greenwald and Naomi Mauer, issued a statement saying the paper \u201capologizes to its readers for the unfortunate Op-Ed article, along with its incendiary and insulting headline.\u201d<br \/>\nAccording to the statement, the article \u201cwas posted without authorization and approval of The Jewish Press newspaper\u201d and \u201cthe sentiments expressed in the article and headline do not represent these of The Jewish Press, its officers, editors, and staff.\u201d<br \/>\nIn a letter to The Jewish Press posted Tuesday on his Facebook page, Yanover said he had authorization to publish the article.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, online editor Yori Yanover was fired by The Jewish Press.
