Dear Matzav Inbox,
I am writing to express my gratitude for the extensive coverage that Matzav.com has given to the Chabad Kinnus Hashluchim and other events related to the Chabad community. It is heartwarming to see such dedicated reporting and broadcasting, especially when it comes to highlighting the meaningful work that Chabad Shluchim are doing around the world. The commitment to promoting and celebrating these incredible individuals and their missions is commendable and deeply appreciated by the wider Jewish community.
However, I must ask a question that has been on my mind for some time. While Matzav.com and other Litvishe and Chassidishe platforms regularly cover Chabad events, such as the Kinnus Hashluchim, it seems that on Chabad platforms, there is very little, if any, coverage of major events within the rest of Klal Yisroel. For example, we rarely, if ever, hear about monumental gatherings like the Adirei Hatorah event, the Agudah Convention, Torah Umesorah conferences, or even the yahrtzeits of gedolim such as Rav Moshe Feinstein, the Satmar Rov, or Rav Aharon Kotler. It often feels as though there is no recognition, coverage, or acknowledgment of any community or event outside of Chabad.
This situation raises a question of unity within Klal Yisroel. While it is completely understandable for Chabad platforms to celebrate and report on Chabad-specific events, one cannot help but wonder why such significant gatherings, teachings, and milestones from other segments of the Torah world receive no attention at all. The absence of coverage for such important matters on Chabad media platforms creates the impression that no other community, no other event, no other Torah leader exists.
The reality is that we all share the same mission and are part of the same Klal Yisroel. A more balanced and inclusive approach to media coverage could go a long way in fostering unity and mutual respect between all parts of our diverse and vibrant community.
Once again, I want to thank you for all the positive work you do, but I hope that going forward, we can see a more comprehensive and inclusive approach from the Chabad community to the coverage of Torah events across all communities.
Sincerely,
A Former Brooklynite
