: Legal Pad | LATorah battle goes to court
By Richard Binder

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

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
