U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said the case involves violations of international law that can be argued in a Washington courtroom. He dismissed a part of the lawsuit, however, involving a dispute over a library of religious books abandoned when the group's leader fled Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution.
The plaintiffs are members of Chabad-Lubavitch, a Hasidic Jewish movement that follows the teachings of generations of Eastern European rabbis and emphasizes the study of the Torah. The group is suing Russia to recover thousands of manuscripts, prayers, lectures and philosophical discourses by leading rabbis.
