Samuel G. Freedman writes August 1 in the NY Times last about Rabbi Marvin Hier's Holocaust Center in Israel. He keeps calling the rabbi "Mr. Hier."
"At the most hyperbolic edge of the debate, the American architect and critic Michael Sorkin claimed in Architectural Record that the Gehry design's use of large, irregular stone blocks "uncomfortably evokes the `deconstruction' of Yasir Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah into a pile of rubble by Israeli security forces.""
I believe Rabbi Hier has asked for equal space to respond in Architectural Record to the Arab academic Dr. Sorkin.
