Founding of Torah Voice

In the summer of 1992, while still learning with R. Richman and Rav Schneider, with the assistance and encouragement of several Jewish friends and the financial help of the late N.C. "Cam" Woolverton Jr., z"l, of Palestine, Texas, ben Yoseif, started an underground publication, "The Jerusalem Torah Voice and Investigative Report." The first of three editions published and hawked on the streets of Jerusalem was an expose of the illegal political extradition of Robert J. Manning and his wife, Rochelle. Pressure on the U.S. State Department by the Anti-Arab Discrimination Committee (ADC) to make an arrest in connection with the bombing death of ADC West Coast Director Alex Oday, was focusing on the Mannings. The expose revealed that a U.S. postal service employee had falsified evidence to make a case against them.

"When then-Secretary of State James Baker presented three demands to the Israeli government after the cease-fire in the Persian Gulf War, the extradition of the Mannings was No. 2 on the list for the U.S. to secure the cooperation of the Arab nations re: a Palestinian state."

Character assassination protest and voluntary dismissal

"Originally, this was an expose that was going to be published in The Jerusalem Post, however, the managing editor at the Post killed the story because Manning had been the personal body guard of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, z"l, who was assassinated in New York City in 1990. The m.e. and several reporters and editors on the Post staff had prejudiced views of Kahane and the unspoken rule was anything negative about Kahane would be published on page one and anything positive would be buried elsewhere in the paper. It was a clear case of character assassination about which I complained and complained loudly."

More political upheavals at the Post resulted in his voluntary termination to help Post publisher Yehuda Levy avoid another walkout strike, (after a personnel-sensitive evaluation of the day and night desk operations that ben Yoseif was requested to write for the new executive editor was stolen from his computer que and without proper authority ben Yoseif deleted the illegal copies).

Post-Post, his visa was not renewed by the Israeli government especially after he independently circulated the Manning File, which was critical of several members of the Israeli justice ministry.
