The editors of an ultra-Orthodox magazine were embarrassed to realize that they have published photographs featuring smutty language recently.
The popular gossip weekly, whose content centers on the who's who of the haredi world, often publishes several pages of photographs from around the globe. In one recent edition this section focused on Olek, an artist who makes crocheted sculptures.
One of photos published in magazine
One of the pictures that the magazine published shows one of Olek's installations – an entire room covered in her knitted creations. But what the editors failed to notice were the inappropriate English-language sayings crocheted onto the walls.
The publication's management only realized the mistake when the edition reached religious readers in the United States and the United Kingdom, who were shocked at the sexual content. A London rabbi even published a letter admonishing the magazine.
The weekly's editors refused to comment on the fiasco.
