Rebbe Weakens
And Tension Mounts

New York (JTA) — The
Lubavitcher rebbe is
fighting the most serious
medical setback he has suf-
fered since his stroke nearly
two years ago.
Meanwhile, his closest
aides are fighting over who
will control the most impor-
tant decisions made in the
nerve center of the huge
Chasidic empire — including
those that directly affect
their leader's medical care.
Tensions between the
Chasidic movement's
leaders are escalating, as is
confusion among the
Lubavitch themselves, say
observers, in a scenario as
complex and intriguing as
that in any Levantine court.
The i- ebbe, Menachem
Mendel Schneerson, now 91,
has been suffering a massive
infection for about two
weeks.
But his cadre of doctors
was unable to identify the
location of the infection until
just a few days ago, when
they began treating him
with antibiotics that seem to
be working, say sources close
to Lubavitcher head-
quarters.
His fever has been high
and his overall condition so
weak that the rebbe was
forced to take a rare trip out-
side of Brooklyn or Queens,
to a Manhattan hospital for
tests on Nov. 12.
While the rebbe and the
Lubavitch movement are
based in the Crown Heights
section of Brooklyn, until his
stroke he regularly visited
the gravesite of his father-in-
law in Queens. It was there
that he had the stroke on
March 2, 1992.
As the ailing man who has
been rebbe since 1951
struggles to recover his
health, some of the men who
for decades have carried out
his wishes are continuing a
battle that has been brewing
for months.
In May, at issue was who
would have financial control
of the Lubavitch empire's
central umbrella institu-
tions.
The Lubavitcher rebbe's
influence extends far beyond
his Crown Heights head-
quarters, which coordinates
the activities of hundreds of
emissaries, educational
centers and publishing
houses around the world. Its
Chabad movement reaches
out to unaffiliated Jews from
Alabama to Zaire.

In recent weeks, however,
the fight has been over the
rebbe's medical care.
Rabbi Leibel Groner and
Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, two
of the rebbe's five official
secretaries, have for several
years been most closely in-
volved in the rebbe's medical
care and at odds over the
course it should take.
Now allegations have sur-
faced that Rabbi Groner
made decisions about the

Rabbi Schneerson:
In a weakened condition.

course of the rebbe's treat-
ment that caused the stroke
itself and that since have
had a deleterious effect on
the rebbe's health.
Those siding with Rabbi
Krinsky say Rabbi Groner
sabotaged the rebbe's care,
according to Yori Yanover,
an Israeli writer who is co-
m author, with Nadav Ish-
Shalom, of the forthcoming
book Rokdiin u'Vochim, or
Dancing and Crying.
The book is scheduled to be
published in Israel and the
United States in December,
in Hebrew. An English-
language translation is
planned.
According to those who
side with Rabbi Krinsky, the
rebbe's longtime spokes-
man and driver, Rabbi
Groner has been interfering
with the rebbe's treatment
in order to preserve his own
status within the Chasidic
community:
Repeated phone calls to
Rabbi Groner's office and
home were not answered.
Rabbi Groner's prestige
within Lubavitch, like that
of any of the secretaries, is
wholly based on his access to
the rebbe — that is, on how
quickly he can expedite re-
sponses between the spiri-
tual leader and his peti-
tioners.
Since these serious allega-
tions began flying within
