Torah battle goes to court

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

A legal battle between the widow of a San Fernando Valley rabbi and his former assistant will go before a secular judge after the assistant flouted a religious court's ruling that he relinquish a set of Torahs.

Rita Pauker's lawyer argues in the lawsuit scheduled to go before a Los Angeles Superior Court judge next month that her late husband never meant for Rabbi Samuel Ohana to keep the four Torahs when he lent Ohana the holy parchment scrolls in 1998.

Ohana, 73, said Rabbi Norman Pauker gave him the Torahs after Pauker's own synagogue closed. He said the Torahs had been sitting in Pauker's garage and that he was surprised when Rita Pauker began asking for the scrolls.

Rita Pauker has been seeking the return of the Torahs since her husband died in 2002.
