‘Seforim Case’ Lawyer Speaks to High School Girls
In honor of Hey Teves, noted attorney Nat Lewin, who served as one of the lawyers in the federal court case over ownership of the library, spoke to a crowd of Beis Rivka high school students and related some of the story as he witnessed it.
Mr. Lewin shared some details of a meeting he had with The Rebbe and how he regretted not taking notes of those meetings. “Since that meeting many Chassidim would come to me and ask for details and I have to rely on my memory of that meeting.”
He also shared some of the visible Siyata Dishmaya [divine intervention] that he saw during the case, which ultimately helped Chabad in the lawsuit.
Following his speech to the students, Mr. Lewin visited the library and exhibit hall with Rabbi Avrohom Shemtov. Escorted by Rabbi Sholom Ber Levin, the chief librarian, he was shown some of the priceless manuscripts which he helped save.
Mr. Lewin will also be speaking tonight at the central Hey Teves farbren in Beis Rivka, 470 Lefferts Ave. at 9:00pm.

It was a beautiful sight to behold
Over five hundred BRHS students listening intently as Mr Nat Lewin made history come alive
With. Wit and humor he recounted his experiences
As the attorney in the judicial proceedings
Which ultimately resulted in didon netzach
It was fascinating to heard his descriptions
And inspiring to hear of his respect and devotion
To the Rebbe
In the morning we heard Rabbi Mintz
Explain the relevancy of the day and he inspired us
to actually read or study a safer
We also had a Seder exchange
What a wonderful meaningful. Inspiring day
