#25 and #48, Your comments are truly frightening! I am sorry for your children that are exposed to your distorted thinking. Wishing you both a complete and speedy recovery.

To #25, 48 and 48, you seem to think that Hilliary is good for Israel. But when her husband was president, she did nothing to get him to release Jonathan Polard, who sat in prison for a much longer time then anyone else ever convicted of the same offense (spying for a friendly country). Nor did she do anything to get him to move the Embassy to Jerusalem and recognize it as Israel’s proper capitol. She also kissed Suha Arafat (Yassar’s wife) after Suha had accused Israel of using “poison gas” on Jihadists terrorists. And Hilliary said nothing about the… Read more »

It would be nice to know what that one issue is

A lot of women actually don't want to be publicized
November 5, 2016 7:30 pm

A candidate for presidency is by definition, public property. A private citizen, however, is not. Frum women have a unique quality of modesty that causes them to not rush to be plastered all over the internet- No matter how many people are trying to take away our right to be so. When I go to a function or event in crown heights and am bombarded with clicking cameras, I find it cringe-worthy and a violation of my privacy When mishpacha orcyeshiva world post info about a rebetzin and everyone complains that they cant see her picture- did it never occur… Read more »

Words from the Rebbeim
November 4, 2016 2:28 pm

“Sight brings a person to have thoughts, and through thoughts one comes to [lust].” – … Beyond this we find in our Mishna that [harm is caused] even when one sees and did not think about it (זבים פ”ב מ”ב). From this one gains an instruction on the great caution one must have with regard to sight. See Kuntres Ha’avoda of the Rebbe Rashab nishmas eden, chapter 2. (Igros Kodesh vol.20, p.82-83) When the book on the Alter Rebbe’s descendants was being compiled, the editor wished to include a picture of the Rebbetzin. He asked the Rebbe for her picture,… Read more »

the official chabad publication, has this policy

To #41
November 4, 2016 11:02 am

Women should learn to respect men.

Women think they should be able to show themselves how and where they want. Then if a man makes a comment – the women go bezurk because women can express themselves through their clothing – even if it is disrespectful to men – but men are not allowed to express themselves.
Its an old feminist rule.

A feminist is a woman who hates men but wants to be one.
A feminine woman loves and respects men – but does not want to be one.

November 4, 2016 3:38 am

Men should learn to control themselves and not repress women and consider them less important. All those men that think women are inferior, and not tznius bla bla bla, go fly a kite. A woman can be in a magazine, doesn’t mean you have to stare at her and it doesn’t mean she isn’t tznius. If anything, the picture of hillarys hand, you can see her elbow. Boom.

November 4, 2016 2:18 am

Those were drawings not pictures.

Regarding this issue, in a lot of things the Rebbe’s stance was how it is percieved. If in the “velt” it’s considered a pritzos to publish photos of women, then certainly Lubavitch websites as col should have a higher standerd.

Maybe applaud this small step for Mishpacha and then you enable them to progress, rather than spew anger. I see this as promising

Chabad custom
November 4, 2016 12:32 am

In a letter addressed to Rabbi Gavriel Tzinner the author of Nitei Gavriel the Rebbe discusses the printing pictures of women. The Rebbe clarified that the printing of the Rebbetzins picture after her petira was an exception due to “Vehachai yitain el libo” (and the living shall take heart) and the fact that the subject is the Rebbetzin. The Rebbe outlines 3 conditions for permitting the publication of the picture, one of which is that it must be in black and white. The full letter can be found in Shulchan Menachem. Indeed this is the reason why Chabad publications such… Read more »

Clinton = millions more muslims
November 4, 2016 12:28 am

If Hillary Clinton’s expansionist immigration policies were put into effect, the U.S. Muslim population could exceed France’s current Muslim population by the end of a President Clinton’s second term, according to data from Pew Research and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

wow
November 3, 2016 11:28 pm

The politics in this election are very clearly more difficult than usual, however, let’s not compare someone who did horrible acts (or bragged about them) to someone who stayed with her husband who did those acts. Even in Jewish circles, if someone G-d forbid has a husband who does things like that the first step is to try to uphold the marriage..

#25 what have you been smoking?
November 3, 2016 11:01 pm

Hell.ery hates us. She is going to allow terrorists to come here, have babies and live on welfare,vwhile choking honest hard working people who will have to support the terrorists. Btw, she wants jerusalem given to the arabs. Where do you seethat she cares about you?
By the way, stop screaming.

Include Women in Photos
November 3, 2016 10:54 pm

When Tzvos HaShem was started they sent a proposal of the cover of the 12 pesukim with only a boy on it. The Rebbe was clear that a girl needed to be included of equal size as girls are equal in the Army of HaShem.

November 3, 2016 10:26 pm

The only official publication (other than kohos that published seforim and the N’shei which was for women) of Chabad until 30 years ago was Kfar Chabad magazine. If you want to see what Chabad’s policy is on this issue, look there.

I have never ever heard more foolish words before on my entire life…. your clearly living in somewhere called planet x bc that hillary that u depicted is the figment of your imagination. In our real earthly world there exists no such hilalary. Either u are dumb and and buy into the liberals tactics to make us vote for her or you are unleanearned and misinformed both are bad not sure whichis worse go into reality please

a) To No. 25 – what meds are you on? b)On another note, its quite pathetic to me, as a woman, that Mishpacha broke their policy for this woman Clinton, when there are great Jewish wome,n sung and unsung, who could have been featured. I ”love” when reading articles in Family First (Mishpacha’s women’s magazine) about great Jewish women and Rebitzins, and the photo they feature is from a son, a father, or a husband. ( So, a regal tznius Rebitzin, they can’t publish – but a woman with such a tarnished reputation – they can!) We have nothing to… Read more »

TO #25 After you learn how to spell and write correctly, I suggest you read and educate yourself. Trump is the only choice for Jews and Americans that want to maintain a strong alliance with Israel. He will also allow our children and grandchildren to enjoy the USA that our parents knew.

November 3, 2016 7:46 pm

the rebbes HETER for printing a picture of the rebbetzin was very clear with where and when it applies, chabad does follow the rebbes and the rabbonims directives, for shlichus purposes the verdict may be somthing else, consult with your local, orthodox, modern, compatent, practicing rabbi and mashpia.
p.s. all these people writing here decisively what to do or not to do like #6 and #12 do not seem smart doing it, since when have you become an expert of jewisj law ???

November 3, 2016 7:32 pm

Its not pro Hillary or against, its regular reporting. I love Mishpacha, they are respectful to Chabad and the rebbe always, unlike others

To all those who think it's better to not publish women in pics..
November 3, 2016 6:20 pm

The Rebbe wrote an answer to someone explaining that there is one issue.

Mishpacha not necessarily endorsing Hillary
November 3, 2016 6:15 pm

They are just writing an article about the candidates.

I trust Mishpacha to know when and when not they are the biggest one and the most popular across Jewish worlds

Good for them...
November 3, 2016 4:37 pm

And NOT good for us! When did Chabad become a sect of mordern orthoxy? Chassidim are people who go BEYOND the letter of the law, we are supposed to be the golden standard!

I wish that COL, as a Chabad website, would not post pictures of women (kal vachomer immodest women…)

#1 YES !! and...
November 3, 2016 3:45 pm

They’re 100% right to limit pics of women.

Happy to see this
November 3, 2016 3:43 pm

Women make up 50% of the population. It is pathetic and rididculous to pretend they dont exist by cutting them out of every photo. Hope this signals a change. Kudos to col for posting photos of women who are tznius and show that frum women can be strong, happy and modest. That is a kiddush Hashem and gives orthodox people a good name.

Hillary is the wrong Choice
November 3, 2016 3:36 pm

I’m sorry to disagree with Mishpacha but I just don’t see why they would promote Hillary Clinton. Health insurance premiums and medical services for working citizens, national security, general crime, corruption and scapegoating from Dept of Justice and the worsening discrimination against Jews are on the rise from the policies- and more importantly the general culture – that is promoted by Hillary Clinton and the extreme liberal bloc that want her in. Neither she nor Trump are aidele Jews, that is not what we are expecting. And Hillary, in tacitly agreeing to her husband’s immoral activities, is just as bad… Read more »

November 3, 2016 3:06 pm

She should not be airbrushed from photos. It’s like changing and censoring history. If she was dressed tzniusly, which she usually is there is no reason not to show her face.
That is not our custom, hiding a woman’s face is silencing her voice. This is why some unfortunate women wear burkas.
Hopefully this will be a change for the better.

Agreed

I honestly think they are doing the proper thing by not publishing womens pictures, and I am surprised that we do

Stop posting pics of women and girls! Chabad.org is for outreach and I have no idea what kehos pictures you are talking about. The Israeli Col doesn’t post pics of women.

If you can walk outdoors…you can have modest pictures of woman in our papers and magazines

umm
November 3, 2016 2:44 pm

Is anyone forgetting the fact that mishpacha is even more strict than kehot, chabad.org, and Jem regarding this issue of not displaying women as mention in the article? What are these excuses for respect for malchus? First of all they were very careful and clever by putting a negative of the photo. Second of all other sites can maybe learn from THEM, not the other way around.

November 3, 2016 2:32 pm

Obviously their rabbis felt this was respect for the Malchus and an obligation . Responsible people

She probably bribed mishpacha to put her image on the cover, everything she does is with corruption.
