Benjamin Balint returns with another book presenting the conflicting claims and arguments of another case of Israel attempting to safeguard the cultural treasures of Holocaust victims.
We learn in the Gemara (Sukkah 51a) that “Whoever has not seen this celebration [the Simchas Bais HaSho’eva, in the Beit Hamikdash] never saw a celebration in his life.” This reporter can tell you, having witnessed this massive event on Sunday, November 20, in the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, that “Whoever has not seen the Chabad-Lubavitch Kinus HaShluchim Haolomi has not seen a gathering of thousands of dedicated Jewish leaders, assembled for inspiration, achdut (unity) and celebration of their mission.” Nothing can compare to this awesome assemblage.
