VOICED: Kosher comics prove a hit with Haredi Jews

In B'nai Brak, comics featuring rabbis and biblical figures are popular among children, especially for birthdays and holidays. These comics are an acceptable form of entertainment in the Haredi society, which avoids the internet and television. The content is strictly monitored by a rabbinical censorship committee to ensure it aligns with community values. Israel Cohen, an artist, creates the first weekly kosher comic magazine, drawing by hand and using a computer for coloring. His comics aim to educate children about Hasidic Judaism, offering stories that, while lacking the action of mainstream superheroes, are still engaging and must-reads for the community.
