Mayor Bloomberg giving a speech at the Colel Chabad Dinner.

First you need to watch this Newscast.

Now doesn't the report give you that empty feeling, like a whole other big thing has just been ignored?

Now I can understand the reporter was there just for the mayor and the whole transit strike threat that's going on, but to just dismiss the event as a “Hassidic Dinner” c'mon that's just not right. I mean the Israeli ambassador to the UN and the Chief Rabbi of Israel among many other dignitaries were present.

And even further, this was NOT a “Hassidic Dinner” this was a gathering of various influential Jewish business men that support their fellow Jews around the world, why not give such a beautiful organization a little recognition?

    This is a letter that I have sent to the comment’s department of this News station.

    Dear Marcia.

    The report that you have given December 15 “Mayor Entrusting Strike Resolution to Higher Power”, gives me an empty feeling, like a whole other big thing has just been ignored?

    I can understand that you where there just for the mayor and the whole transit strike threat that’s going on, but to just to dismiss the event as a "Hassidic Dinner" come on that’s just not right. the Israeli ambassador to the UN and the Chief Rabbi of Israel where among many other dignitaries present at this event.

    And even further, this was not a "Hassidic Dinner" this was a gathering of various influential Jewish business men that support their fellow Jews around the world, why not give such a beautiful organization a little recognition?

    I hope that this information will give you a better understanding of what this dinner was all about.

    This event was an International Awards Dinner of the Colel Chabad Organization.

    Established in 1788 by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, Colel Chabad is the oldest continuously operating charity of its kind in Israel. Our purpose is to provide direct, meaningful help to the neediest in Israel – regardless of background or affiliation – in a manner that preserves and enhances their dignity.

    Colel Chabad’s activities range from operating a chain of soup kitchens to visiting sick children in hospitals; from interest-free loans for widows to subsidized weddings for orphans; from daycare centers to pediatric dental clinics for impoverished children; from holiday clothing vouchers to monthly food baskets for the neediest families.

    Colel Chabad continues to be at the forefront of charitable innovation — identifying emerging needs both in Israel and the former Soviet Union. Wherever possible, Colel Chabad provides the necessary training, tools and interest-free loans to enable needy people to emerge from poverty.

    Colel Chabad is supported by donors throughout the US and overseas.

    The Colel Chabad charity box has been a fixture in Jewish homes and places of business for two centuries. It provides an opportunity to give charity on a daily basis. In Jewish tradition, the frequency of charity is as important – if not more so – than the quantity one gives.
