In a surprising development, Matzav.com and Yeshiva World News have jointly announced that they are merging into a single powerhouse of online news, bringing a seismic shift to the frum media landscape.
Sources close to both websites have confirmed that the merger, which is set to take effect on Shushan Purim, is in response to the overwhelming realization that two separate sites simply aren’t necessary anymore.
“After all,” said one anonymous insider, “why the need for two websites when you can have one mega-site that covers every angle of frum life, from shidduch suggestions to political opinions, from COVID-19 updates to the latest yeshiva drama?”
The new merged entity, now simply known as MatzavWorld, will feature an unprecedented combination of all the news you could possibly want—and then some.
“We’ve always been proud of our reputation for breaking news and offering in-depth analysis,” said a spokesperson for the new venture. “But now, we can break even more news, analyze even more opinions, and—let’s be honest—provide even more commentary on all the ‘important’ topics like camp tips, pre-Purim shopping, and, of course, whose kid is going to which yeshiva.”
When asked about the implications of the merger for the future of frum news, the spokesperson confidently responded, “This is the dawn of a new era. We’re combining the best of both worlds. Expect faster headlines, endless content, and—most importantly—more lists. You know, ‘Top 10 Yeshivas You Can’t Get Into,’ ‘5 Halachic Questions About Getting Your Daughter a Shidduch During This Shidduch Crisis,” and “Five Reasons Why Voting for Eretz HaKodesh Does or Does Not Make Me an Apikores.”
The merger is expected to shake up the entire frum media ecosystem, with both Matzav.com and Yeshiva World News fans equally bewildered and intrigued.
“It’s going to be hard to adjust,” said one long-time Matzav user. “But I’m already imagining the possibilities. More updates on my community’s struggles with the local government. More articles about the songs at Rav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin’s son’s wedding. Wow.”
Stay tuned for more updates from MatzavWorld, where news isn’t just reported—it’s blown out of proportion for your entertainment.

Was the deal signed under the brooklyn bridge
A freilich purim
Oh No. Oh Well. Maybe you all can raise yourselves to a better standard other than 90% Loshon Hora and ( worse) Racheilut.
B’ Ahavat Yisrael,
Yisrael Tzvi Halewi aka Chacahm Tzvi
Is this an April Fools joke?
LoL
Will we have to log in anew each time we wish to post a reply or a comment?
Is this real or purim shtick?
I was waiting for the annual Purim Shtick story and here it is!
A Freilichen Purim!
I actually like both sites. So why deprive me?????????????????
Definitely a Simchas Purim laugh.
Cute. Thanks for putting us in the Purim spirit just before Maariv and Krias Megillah.
A Freilichin Purim y’all.
YI’m Wnot Nso Igood Swith Thumor, Rso Acan Ssomeone Hexplain!
Ah freilichen Purim 🙂
Plenty of customers for both sites, may you each have hatzlocha rabba.
This would really make a lot of sense. And advertisers would save a lot.
But please ! Get rid of the animated ads!
Not enough unsigned rants about the dreaded age-gap shidduch crisis that is tearing our community apart. We need a new one every 5 minutes.
Will they be combining their rabbinical advisory boards into one?
Hello if we had an advisory board in the first place we would not exist.
This is an actually great idea!
I wish it wasn’t a purim joke.
Funny, I didn’t see anything about this merger on YWN. Maybe you should inform them.
What about Vos Iz Neias (VIN)? Just because they are a Lubavitch outlet, you don’t want to merge with them?
Accept the Rebbuh MH”M shlit”a now, or else!
The merger will happen on Shushan Purim? Got it.
For my money you can get rid of both of them. I’ll never miss them.
This was really well-done and genuinely funny. I also thought it was real until partway through. Great job!
I like the name YeshivisheMatzav, but I’m no expert. How is the merger happening on Shabbos though?
Really amazing that they call themselves a Frum Torah site, yet schedule to sign a deal on Shabbos Kodesh.
