Shliach Banned From Lithuania’s Main Synagogue

from the JTA:

In an escalation of the internal feud dividing Lithuanian Jews, the Chabad movement’s senior emissary to the country was banned from the capital city’s main synagogue.

Rabbi Sholem Ber Krinsky, who has lived in Vilnius for 22 years, was informed in an email Monday from the chairman of the Vilnius Jewish Religious Community that he could not set foot inside the Vilnius Choral Synagogue until he commits in writing to follow the synagogue’s “rules and order.”

The move follows a brief period of reconciliation following reports in November that guards hired by the community prevented Krinsky from entering the same synagogue.

  • Amazing Shluchim!!

    These shluchim are the REAL DEAL! Yup, these shluchim shouldn’t need to deal with all those anti Lubavitch and anti everything they’re working so hard to achieve there. Kol hakovod for all the incredible work they accomplish under the most crazy circumstances!!!
