Chabad’s Push To Reunite The Schneerson Library Makes Moves in Israel
The Association of Chabad Chassidim in the US has appealed to Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, demanding the freezing of the procedures for the transfer of ownership of the real estate in Jerusalem to the Russian government, led by the Alexander Nevsky Church in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Chabad demands that the transfer of ownership of the assets be conditioned on the return of the Schneerson library archives to the Hasidic Association which, according to Chabad, was taken, in violation of the law, by Russia.
In a letter written by attorney Uri Kedar representing the Association of Chabad Chassidim, which is a warning before legal proceedings are taken, Chabad explains that the Schneerson library archives are a historical collection of the global Chabad Hasidism and that it is a collection that includes approximately 12,000 books and original writings, which were preserved since the end of the 18th century until today.
