I’m a little confused about this.

Why do some people feel that it is necessary to go public (tv, internet) with our halachos and our culture? Why are we looking for approval from the outside world? Is the approval from Hashem not enough?

Training in mitzvos and sensitivity for tznius etc. starts at a very young age. We spend an entire childhood training for our responsibilities to the torah on we reach of age. Then we go on tv and expect to show the beauty of it to the whole world, and they should also understand it and respect it. It makes no sense to me.

What do we stand to gain?

Chabad Chassidim specificly feel it their mission to spread Yiddishkeit around, similar to the concept of “Tiukun Olam” everyone else degrades (which is why they have “Noahide Rabbis”, etc.). Otherwise, I don’t know if anyone else cares.
