Muscling in on Dubai’s existing Jewish community, a Chabad rabbi stirs discord – New ‘Jewish Community of the UAE’ got much press, but upstart congregation’s eye for publicity backfires as local authorities order immediate closure of its social media accounts | Timesofisrael
It’s a story as old as Jewish history itself. A community establishes itself, and inevitably splits into the synagogue you go to and the one you don’t, as the old joke goes.
Only this time it’s in Dubai, where a young rabbi from the Chabad Lubavitch movement is facing a backlash and an official reprimand, after a concerted public relations campaign introducing his new congregation in recent weeks persistently neglected to acknowledge the existence of the city’s established but media-shy Jewish community.
