"Lakewood is really the legacy of
Lithuanian Torah scholarship." He
said that Landsbergis consented to
have the Lakewood delegation inspect
the Torahs "and bury some in the
worst condition."
Rabbi Gorier said that the unus-
able scrolls were buried in a special
ceremony at the Vilna Gaon corn-
memoration. At the same time, the
Lakewood group subsidized the writ-
ing of a new Torah scroll.
Not so fast, said Chanes, who
wants to know what authority put
Lakewood in charge of saving the
Torahs. He said before any Torah
burial takes place, there must be a
complete professional evaluation and
assessment."
"Our position is that the scrolls are
basically ritual objects and not
research materials," Chanes said.
"Having said that, all the damaged
scrolls should be transferred to an
appropriate Jewish religious authority,
agreed upon by consensus, for exami-
nation and ultimately appropriate
disposition."
Meanwhile, Chanes sent a letter
to Lithuanian Prime Minister
Gediminas Vagnorius calling for the
creation of an international commit-
tee to address the range of issues sur-
rounding the Judaica repository in
Vilnius, including preservation, cata-
loguing, accessibility "and of course
the questions of disposition."
A meeting was tentatively sched-
uled place during the Vilna Gaon
commemoration.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center
mounted a boycott against the event
in protest of Lithuania's failure to
prosecute alleged Nazi collaborator
Aleksandras Lileikis. He is alleged to
have been chief of police in German
occupied Vilna in 1941, ordering the
executions of some 40,000 people,
mostly Jews. Lithuania says Lileikis is
too old and sick to be charged.
But in an exchange of letters with
Landsbergis, Rabbi Ronald
Greenwald, who helped arrange
Lakewood's trip, cautioned that the
Vilna Gaon event should not be
endangered.
"I found very little sympathy from
people based on the theory that he is
either ill or old," Rabbi Greenwald
wrote. -
Further complicating matters is
the Vilna Gaon's cemetery being des-
ecrated, found scrawled with
swastikas and spray-painted graffiti.
Lithuania's president has ordered an
investigation. O
