The opening as it read in 2025

Maalos ( Yiddish : מעלות ; lit. "virtues, steps") is a Hasidic monthly magazine published in New York and mostly geared for women featuring a token section devoted to children. Maalos was founded by Sarah Jungreisz in 1996. The editors have a distinct Yiddish spelling and grammar, and a distinct graphic layout. Many of the articles are written with the goal of fighting against modern assimilation. They also have articles discussing education and psychology . Although Maalos abides by the same stringent standards as other Hasidic publications—it provides moral instruction, features no images of women, and is anti-Zionist—it places more emphasis on literary excellence than its compatriots. The nonfiction pieces run the gamut from well-researched scholarly write-ups to biographies of noteworthy personalities; from self-help columns on marriage, parenting, and business to thought-provoking or controversial essays on mental health and art. Additionally—and perhaps unintentionally— Maalos serves a similar function to the work of pre-World War I classic Yiddish writers like I. Ansky : it documents Hasidic life by highlighting the people, the pressing issues, and the tales that are central to modern-day Hasidim. The Last), a historical fiction story published in issues Tammuz and Av , 5758 (1998). See, for example, Ver bin ikh (Who Am I?), a serialized novel published in issues Av 5776 (2016) through Teves 5777 (2017).
