Bill Would Give Russian Art Immunity from Seizure

LA Times

Russia banned art loans to the United States after a federal court ruled that a historic collection of books and writings belongs not to Russia but to the U.S.-based Hasidic group, Chabad, and must be returned.

For more than a year, Russia has prohibited its government-run museums from sending artworks to exhibitions in the United States. The ban has frustrated and puzzled American museum officials, because it was spurred by a legal decision unrelated to anything the museums themselves have done. Diplomacy has failed to lift it.

by Rabbi Michoel Seligson

In honor of his yahrzeit on the tenth of Nissan * Reb Yitzchok Nemes was a great Yireh Shomayim with refined midos. His entire life was an unbroken circle consisting of concern for others, being mzake horabim and involving himself in activities that sanctified Hashem’s name in countries where few Jews lived. This came about as a result of his stamp business, which frequently took him abroad doing business with governments and private collectors.

Ohio Rabbi’s Books Tied to Holocaust Survivors

Rabbi Aryeh Kaltmann with his three sons, Yitzi, 19, Mendy, 16, and Shea, 14, in their Columbus, Ohio home.

As Holocaust survivors languished in displacement camps around Europe at the close of World War II, the U.S. Army gave them some of their first tangible connections to their faith since before the war: passages from the Talmud.

Pesach Chumros: Are Eggplants Chometz?

by Tamar Rotem – Haaretz

Books with pages spread wide open, perched on balcony railings and shedding imaginary crumbs of not-kosher-for Passover food. Shelves covered in new paper, and masses of aluminum foil on kitchen counters and the stovetop. Signs on doors warning “Do not bring in hametz” – referring to leavened products – with several exclamation marks. All of these were signs in my childhood that Passover was approaching. Above all I remember the near-hysteria that overtook the women and girls in the house, which mounted as the holiday grew nearer while they pursued to the death every stain and crumb.
