The founder and editor-in-chief, Binyamin L. Jolkovsky , is a rabbinical school graduate and a former correspondent for Yated Ne'eman , an Israeli daily. In 2023, Jolkovsky claimed the site was now “among the oldest surviving non-corporate sites on the web." Although the magazine is written to appeal to Orthodox Jews , Jolkovsky said he seeks a broader readership because "there are a lot of Christians who live Jewish values better than some Jews."
