What is an Orthodox teenage girl to do when confronted with magazines that cannot possibly resonate with her more modest, traditional outlook? Since 2004, she has been able to turn to Yaldah, which places a premium on tznius and a woman’s place in the home. Yet Yaldah is the work of just such a girl, Leah Caras, profiled today in Tablet Magazine by Irin Carmon, who would seem to have ambitions beyond what is expected of her. Does she buy what her magazine is selling?
