Although the magazine is written to appeal to Orthodox Jews, Jolkovsky said he seeks a broader readership because "there are a lot of Christians who live Jewish values better than some Jews." Regarding his magazine's political orientation, he said: "It is hard to understand a religious person who votes Democrat... Maimonides, the great Jewish philosopher, said there are ten levels of charity, tzedakah. The highest level is making a person self-sufficient, which sounds like what the GOP wants to do."D'Agostino, Joseph A.[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3827/is_200104/ai_n8940917 "Conservative spotlight: Binyamin L Jolkovsky" /'] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091214054725/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3827/is_200104/ai_n8940917/|date=December 14, 2009}}, Human Events, April 9, 2001.
