Shm@lParticipant
I have a follow-up question if I am allowed. The book recalls: “majority of the survivors felt it would be appropriate for the Rebbe to address the ceremony as the voice of the survivors, the secular Jews who represented various Zionist and socialist organizations refused to let him speak unless he promised that he would not mention G-d’s Name, or anything related to religion.” (p. 170-171).
I was wondering what these Zionist and socialist organaziations were that refused the Rebbe to let him speak about G-d and use G-ds name. Why would they not accept the Rebbe using G-ds name?
Shm@lParticipant@DovidApt thanks, I got the issue from the publisher, it was exactly what I was looking for. Gut Shabbos!
Shm@lParticipantThanks @SchnitzelBigot for pointing to another source. I was, however, specifically looking for “Sanz” newspaper. Do you know if this can be found online?

Are you aware of any sources that describe this? As for the Sfas Emes, did the presence of the Canaanites really serve as a “husk” around the wisdom of Torah in the land of Israel?
Shm@lParticipantOn Bamidbar 13:20 “whether there are trees or not”, the Chiddushei HaRim says that the “trees” refer to the Eitz HaChaim- the tree of life.
Moshe Rabbeinu send out the meraglim to “feel” if the environment of Eretz Yisrael was enriched by Torah.
The Gemara in Bava Basra says that the air in Eretz Yisroel makes a person wise. The Sfas Emes however, in parashas Shelach, says that the wisdom of Torah in the air of Eretz Yisroel was temporarly concealed because the Canaanites still lived in the land. The wisdom in the air had a “husk” on it.
So why would the meraglim need to feel if the Torah was in the environment of the land of Israel and if they felt the wisdom of Torah in the air?
