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.

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.
We would like to wish Mazal Tov to Yaacov Hoffinger (Crown Heights) and Chaya Hyman (Pittsburgh, PA) on their engagement.
Update: The L’Chaim will IYH be Sunday night at Beis Levi Yitzchok, 556 Crown St. [entrance on Albany ave].
