produce plutonium. And they have to
ship out all the spent fuel, which can be
extracted to make plutonium; he said.
Enough Time?
The last guideline, the 24-day notice, is
also the most misunderstood, Irwin said.
"Iran is incredibly untrustworthy
through its actions, and what we are
trying to do is prevent Iran from build-
ing a covert facility someplace else," he
said. "To build a covert bomb, it doesn't
just need a covert enrichment facility,
it needs a covert conversion facility, a
covert uranium mill and a covert ura-
nium mine:'
If the United States or Israel or any-
one provides intelligence about a secret
facility in Iran, the IAEA can go to Iran
and say they want to go into that site
within 24 hours, he said. If they can't
work out an agreement to enter the
site within two weeks, it goes to a joint
commission that votes within seven
days. And once the vote is taken, Iran
has to allow access or the sanctions
snap back 24 days after the first request
to enter the site.
Irwin said that 24 days "is absolutely
sufficient to allow the IAEA the ability
to get at covert sites, and the U.S. can
snap back sanctions without permission
from the other members in the deal7
Nosanchuk said that the deal "stands
on its own two legs7
But after the one-hour presentation
and over an hour of questions from the
audience, some were not convinced.
"We don't know what the agreement
is. It's way too serious a matter to pass
it then see what's in it, like Obamacare,"
said U.S Army Capt. (Ret) David
Cuttner of Southfield. "The president's
been lying to us for years7

wasn't sold either.
"These people are very good sales-
men," Gardner said. "I don't doubt they
are very knowledgeable, but I don't
think the deal adequately safeguards
Israel, and I'm not happy about that7
Dr. Robert M. Levine of Farmington
Hills supports the deal.
"I was interested in hearing other
people's opinions," he said. "And some
of my questions were answered. For
instance, what the U.S. viewpoint is
about the ability to get support of the
international community in the future
to enforce what's being enforced now:'
Nosanchuk said, "We've experienced
that there's division in the Jewish com-
munity. The president understands the
opposition, and that pro-Israel American
Jews are on both sides of this issue:'
He was unwilling to say if Obama
would travel to Israel to sell the deal,
only saying, "There will be engage-
ment with Israeli officials that will
be planned and or announced in the
coming weeks7

High Court Rejects
Chabad's Appeal

T
he Michigan Supreme Court
has shut the door on Chabad of
Michigan's lawsuit against Bais
Chabad Torah Center.
On Sept. 9, the state's high court refused
to reconsider its May 20 ruling against
Oak Park-based Chabad of Michigan,
which sought title to the Bais Chabad
synagogue in West Bloomfield.
The ruling was without dissent. Justice
Richard Bernstein, who joined the court
this year, did not participate in either
decision.
"I'm glad the case was successfully con-
cluded in our favor; said Bais Chabad's
attorney Todd Mendel of the Detroit law
firm Barris Soft Denn & Driker PLLC.
Mendel said the case against his clients
was an expensive waste of resources that
could have been used to help the com-
munity.
Chabad of Michigan's attorney Norman
Ankers of Honigman Miller Schwarz and
Cohn LLP in Detroit could not be reached
at the JN's press time for a comment.
The suit, originally filed in April 2012
by Chabad of Michigan, led by regional
director Rabbi Berel Shemtov, against
the Torah Center, its Rabbi Elimelech
Silberberg and its board of direc-
tors, sought to declare that Chabad of
Michigan had controlling authority over
the Torah Center.
It was originally dismissed in Oakland
County Circuit Court because it was
ruled to have been filed too late. Chabad
of Michigan appealed to the state Court
of Appeals, which reversed the Circuit
Court's decision on May 22, 2014.
Bais Chabad then appealed to the state
Supreme Court, which reinstated the
Circuit Court's original decision to dismiss
the case on May 20, 2015.
On June 10, Chabad of Michigan filed
a Motion for Reconsideration, asking
the court to specifically address issues
based on the U.S. Constitution's First
Amendment right to freedom of religion.
On Sept. 9, the court simply stated
that the Motion for Reconsideration was
denied "because it does not appear that
the order was entered erroneously."
Chabad of Michigan has the option of
petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to
take up the matter, but the high federal
court hears only a limited number of
cases per year.
