JTA plagiarized mentalblog.com
Our interview with Rabbi David Karpov, a Shaliyach in Otradnoe, Moscow was published on March 31st.
JTA article about Rabbi Dovid Karpov, Russian Shul takeover leads to squabble in Jewish community was published on April 11th.
mentalblog.com: "We built this congregation from scratch."
JTA: "Since then, Karpov, now 48, has created a congregation from scratch."
mentalblog.com: "We have a daily Minyan and we have 50-60 people on Shabbos."
JTA: "The synagogue now offers a variety of religious and social activities, attracting 50-60 people to its Saturday morning services."
mentalblog.com: "the Synagogue was ready for the taking. Nobody wanted the building at the time, not Lazar or anyone else except David who took it and started this congregation Darkei Shalom."
JTA: "When the synagogue was completed and offered free to Jewish organizations, none of the major groups in the community were interested in the financial burden associated with running a new synagogue in a remote neighborhood. Rabbi David Karpov, a Moscow-born Chabadnik, accepted the offer."
What it all boils down to is that the license on this blog allows people to copy the material on one simple condition that the source is attributed. I don't claim to be a professional reporter but I know that it is hard to find similar level of discourse about our subject on any official venue. Yet the "organized" media reads our blogs, gets ideas and gets inspired by our blogs but fails to acknowledge our existence. I am awaiting an explanation from JTA.
