Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin, director of Jewish Educational Media, leads a discussion at a meeting of New York University's Working Group on Jews, Media and Religion.

BROOKLYN, NY — For an academic body studying the nexus between religion and the media, a Chabad-Lubavitch archive and production outfit have become something of a test case of how a Chasidic Jewish community has embraced modern technology to document and preserve its modern legacy.

LOS ANGELES, CA — For a long time now, Chabad, along with many others concerned about the subtle and not-so-subtle influences of pop culture, has been unequivocal about television watching as a harmful, mind-numbing pastime. But that didn’t stop the medium from turning its focus on a Chasidic baal teshuva—a secular Jew who chooses to live a Torah-observant life.

According to Nielson Media Research, last Tuesday night’s episode of House, Fox Channel’s top rated medical drama, concerning a baal teshuvah with a unique medical disorder, was the most viewed spot of the evening.

A LETTER FROM A MOTHER...

Dear Nechama's Closet,

As you may have noticed by now, I am a “regular customer” at Nechama's Closet. I am writing this letter to thank you for all you have done for me and to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a middle-aged, (seemingly) middle-class Lubavitcher woman - a wife and mother of a (k"ah) large family who is deeply grateful for Hashem's blessings.
