Yated Ne'eman
Encyclopedia : Y : YA : YAT : Yated Ne'eman
Yated Ne'eman (Hebrew: יתד נאמן) is a Hebrew language daily newspaper published in Israel. A weekly English language edition is also published in the United States and Israel, where it is specifically directed towards the city of Bnei Brak.
The paper was founded in 1985 by Rabbi Elazar Shach, at that time the leader of the Degel HaTorah party and one of the most important rabbinical authorities of the Lithuanian Haredi Jews. The paper was founded to serve the new Degel HaTora party, after its split from the Hasidic party Agudat Israel and their paper Hamodia.
Because of the religious readership, the English edition uses a large amount of typically Orthodox Jewish words, which renders the English edition unreadable to anyone who is not familiar with this terminology, which can be described as a formal form of the 'dialect' also known as Yeshivish.
The name
The Hebrew phrase "Yated Ne'eman" used to name this paper, describes a peg strongly anchored in the ground, and is used figuratively to describe a secure connection or something which can be relied upon. The phrase probably comes from Isaiah 22 verse 23, "ותקעתיו יתד, במקום נאמן", translated in the King James Bible as "And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place", and in the New American Standard Bible as "I will drive him like a peg in a firm place".See also
