A leaked document exposes a plan to create “facts on the ground.”

Menachem Schmelzer, in memoriam.
Born in a rural Hungarian village in 1934, Menahem Schmelzer survived the Holocaust in a forced-labor camp. Continuing his Jewish education after the war, he was later arrested by the Hungarian Communist government for his Zionist activities, and left the country shortly after his release. He served from 1964 until 1987 as the chief librarian of the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City, presiding over its vast collection of rare books and manuscripts. In his obituary for Schmelzer, who died earlier this month, Joseph Berger writes:
A leaked document exposes a plan to create “facts on the ground.”
Although the results remain to be seen.
Replacing academic freedom with cowardice.
And why the Dead Sea Scrolls are overrated.
