Government of Israel to the Rebbe: Send several hundred families to live in Hebron.

A Story:
Heard three days ago from Rabbi Yehuda Leib Groner, assistant to the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Member of Knesset, Uzi Landau: I am coming as emissary of the Prime Minister of Israel, requesting that the Rebbe send several hundred families to live in Hebron.

The Rebbe: I am prepared to do that on one condition: that the Prime Minister promise me that these families will not be evacuated and not be told to go back home. I am not prepared to uproot hundreds of families unless I receive a firm assurance that this will not happen.

MK Landau: I cannot assure that.

The Rebbe: As long as I do not receive this assurance from the prime minister, I cannot request families to move.
