The website alfa.lt has published a news article about the alleged financial fraud of a businessman named Strolis, which mentions the Jewish Community explicitly in its headline and body. The Lithuanian Jewish Community states for the record that neither it nor the Vilnius Jewish Community are in any way connected with the facts in the case against the businessman in any way at all. The hotel mentioned in the article was purchased by Chabad Lubavitch rebbe Sholom Ber Krinsky who came from
Boston to Lithuania in 1994 to create a new Chassidic community here, whereas the existing community here has mainly been and largely remains Mitnagedim in outlook, followers of the Vilna Gaon who condemned Chassidism as Judaic heresy. The communities are laregly at peace now, but there is no official or religious connection between Chabad Lubavitch and the Lithuanian Jewish Community.

alfa.lt has published untrue information about the Lithuanian Jewish Community. The LJC expects a retraction and apology.
