Hamodia was founded nearly 100 years ago in Eastern Europe with the active support of the foremost Torah leaders, including Hagaon Harav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski, the Gerrer Rebbe, Harav Avrohom Mordechai Alter, Hagaon Harav Chaim Brisker, zecher tzaddikim levrachah, — all of whom were vigorously battling strong winds of assimilation that threatened the very foundations of our heritage. In this struggle for survival, these Gedolim recognized the power of a Torah-true newspaper as the appropriate response to the lure of the spiritual war being waged against the Torah camp by popular youth movements.
In the aftermath of the destruction of European communities at the hands of the Nazis, ym"s, Hamodia resurfaced as the authentic voice of the bloodied yet unbowed Torah-true community struggling to rebuild itself on different continents. Hamodia's growth paralleled the miraculous resurgence of a vibrant Orthodox community in Israel, America, and major Jewish communities around the world. The daily Hebrew-language edition emerged as the leading publication for the religious community in Israel since its establishment in 1950.
In 1998, the English-language weekend Hamodia was launched to serve the growing Orthodox Jewish community in America and Europe, as well as the English-speaking community in Israel. Hamodia quickly rose to prominence worldwide. On December 15, 2003, Hamodia revolutionized the American community with its introduction of a daily edition. In 2008 a French-language edition of Hamodia was begun.
While its stellar growth can be attributed to many factors, the key to Hamodia's success is because we have siyatta d'Shmaya.
Today, Hamodia is the undisputed market leader: a respected publication that reaches and influences hundreds of thousands of Jewish households worldwide through its daily and weekend editions.
