U.S. Judge Sanctions Russia Over Jewish Manuscript Dispute
“Over the objections of the Obama administration, a federal judge in Washington is trying to put more pressure on Russia to return a disputed collection of sacred Jewish books and manuscripts. U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth has entered a judgment of $43.7 million against the Russia Federation for the country’s refusal to comply with his earlier order requiring the country to transfer thousands of Jewish books and manuscripts to an Hasidic sect based in New York.” (via WSJ)
