Ami (magazine)
Ami (Hebrew: עמי, "My people") is an Orthodox Jewish newsmagazine published weekly in New York and Israel. The magazine was launched by the husband-wife team of Rabbi Yitzchok Frankfurter and Rechy Frankfurter, former editors at Mishpacha. Since its debut in November 2010, it has become one of the three leading magazines in the New York Orthodox community, alongside Mishpacha and Binah.
Coverage
Ami has featured interviews with political figures such as Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. and Governor Pataki Ami also featured reporting from inside the United States Supreme Court during the announcement of the "Obamacare" ruling.
The publication often addresses provocative issues, such as child abuse in the Orthodox community and religious vigilantism. A January 2012 cover story on antisemitism depicted the White House draped with swastika flags while stormtroopers marched across the South Lawn. That issue drew criticism from readers and elicited public and print apologies by the publisher.Ami was censured by Satmar rabbis in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn after the magazine published a piece about extremism gaining leverage in the Edah HaChareidis organization; Ami later published a retraction.
