Eliezer Shemtov - Haaretz
In his op-ed in Haaretz on June 1 (“God as surgeon”), Prof. Yehuda Bauer refers to the opinion of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe regarding the Holocaust.

Without responding to his unwarranted, unacademic, personal attacks against the Rebbe, I think that Bauer gravely misunderstood the nuances and delicate concepts that the Rebbe was conveying in his 1980 letter to Knesset member Chaika Grossman.

How the Rebbe understood the Holocaust

Crown Heights, Brooklyn — At about 1:30 AM Friday morning, a house on Crown St was broken into. The robbers broke in using a crowbar to enter through the side door.

The house located on Crown St between Troy and Schenectady, was burglarized while the residents were sleeping. The robbers broke in using a crowbar, breaking off the side door of the house, they emptied the house of some loose cash and Tzedaka Pushkas.

The residents woke up the next morning not knowing they were burglarized, until later on in the day when they realized their side door was missing. The residents said that they heard someone walking around at 1:30 AM and thought it was one of them.

Stony Point, NY — A teacher and three 16-year-old Lubavitcher Yeshiva Mesivta (Ocean Pkwy) students wandered off a Bear Mountain climbing trail and had to be plucked from a 200-foot-high ledge by rappelling rescuers while hovering police helicopters lit the face of the cliff.

The climbers “felt they couldn't go up safely and they couldn't go down safely once they realized where they were,” Lt. David Herrick of the New York state park police said Friday. “Basically they froze and didn't want to move.”

They were stuck on the rocky outcropping for more than five hours on Thursday night and early Friday.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week's Torah portion Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) sends 12 spies (12 “Miraglim”) to examine the Land of Canaan (which would later be called the Land of Israel).

When the 12 spies returned from inspecting the land, 10 spies reported to Moshe Rabeinu and the entire assembly of the Jewish people that the inhabitants of the Land of Canaan were too strong for the Jewish people to conquer. The Talmud tells us that the 10 spies were even saying that the inhabitants of the Land of Canaan are stronger then Hashem (!) and “even the householder (Hashem) cannot remove his utensils from there (because the Canaanites are stronger then he)”, (see Tractate Sotah, Page 35, Side 1).
