'Official' coalition, N.J. yeshiva squabble over true
agent for precious Vilna Torahs.
ERIC J. GREENBERG
Special to The Jewish News
wo American Jewish groups
are working independently
to save a treasure trove of
Lithuanian Jewish books
and Torahs that survived the
Holocaust.
The question is whether they are
working at cross purposes.
Some parties are concerned about
internal Jewish feuding following a
recent meeting between Lithuanian
Chairman of Parliament Vytautas
Landsbergis and a group of intensely
Orthodox yeshiva officials from
Lakewood, N.J.
The Lakewood delegation led by
Rabbi Aaron Coder, chief executive
of Beth Medresh Govoha, met with
Landsbergis in Vilnius, where more
than 50,000 pre-World War II books
and newspapers and more than 500
Bible scrolls are being kept in the
Lithuanian National Library.
Rabbi Cotler said the meeting
with Lithuanian officials was success-
ful and culminated last month in an
international gathering in Vilnius
marking the 200th anniversary of the
death of the eminent Lithuanian
scholar and Jewish leader, the Vilna
Gaon, Rabbi Eliyahu Ben Shlomo
Zalman Kramer.
Rabbi Cotler said the ceremony
had included the burial of dozens of
damaged Torahs and the writing of a
new Torah, which he claimed would
be the first such endeavor in
Lithuania since before World War II.
"The result of our mission is that
we have set up the pipeline between
our experts and their experts, and
they have already started working
together," he said.
On the crucial issue of ultimate
ownership of the texts, Rabbi Cotler
said, "'We're still discussing it with
them and I do believe we'll make
some headway."

Eric Greenberg writes for the New
York Jewish Week.
But the June meeting has raised ,
hackles at the National Foundation
for Jewish Culture, which says it has
organized an "official" task force to
the Lithuanians representing a dozen
American Jewish organizations.
The coalition is calling for the cre-
ation of an international commission
to resolve issues of preservation and,
more important, who ultimately
owns the manuscripts and Torahs, the _ _/
-<
Lithuanian people or American
Jewish groups with historical ties to
Vilna.
Jerome Chanes, cultural director of
the foundation, criticized Lakewood's ;
initiative.
"It appears they are acting on their
own," said Chanes, whose coalition
represents the YIVO Institute, the
National Conference on Soviet Jewry
and others.
A turf fight
over the
Holocaust.
Chanes said Lakewood officials
have been invited to coalition meet-
ings but do not attend.
Following its own mission in
March, Chanes' coalition issued a
series of recommendations on how to
save the books and scrolls, some of
which were found in disrepair last
year when Jewish newspapers began
reporting on the situation. The
majority of the books originally were
owned by Jewish institutions and
individuals, including YIVO, the
Telshe Yeshiva, the Strashun Library
and the Gimnasiye Vilna.
Besides the question of who is rep-
resenting American Jewry to
Lithuania, another looming issue is
what to do with a cache of Torahs
C/\
and other religious scrolls that are in
the possession of the Vilna library.
Rabbi Cotler declared that
