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." T 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
