Rabbi Weissmandel: Allegations Against Rubashkin "False"
Supreme Kosher's Rabbi Moshe Weissmandel weighed in on the massive immigration raid conducted against Agriprocessors in Postville, Iowa Monday.
What did the uber-haredi have to say?
…Rabbi Moses Weissmandel, the top supervising rabbi at Agriprocessors, told JTA Thursday that the government allegations were categorically false. He was addressing claims in an affidavit that the drug methamphetamine was being produced at the site and that rabbinic supervisors had abused plant workers, the bulk of whom are Mexican and Guatemalan.
"I categorically say it's false, it's not true, it's a lie," he said.
Weissmandel did not address claims that the workers were illegal.
"That's not my department," he said.
I wonder why weissmandell didnt respond to the drug issue and beating issue the same way he responded to the illegal alians . . ITS NOT MY DEPT. Weissmandel can never be trusted . EVER!!. He should go back to mount kisco and do what he does best . Hamavin yavin!

Its the Golden calf!!!
again! and who keep falling for it?
My people!
But not everyone is decieved not everyone was deceieved 3 thousand years ago either,
How easy it is to fool people when they havent heard the voice of God in so long, but be strong dont forget what our forefathers went through ..
and let us not forget the power of God and his mightyness. He did it before he will do it again, but we must not worship the GOlden calf as it seems to be presented by Gods so called people ..
History repeats itself.

I guess Rabbi Weissmandel will be called as a star wittiness for Rubashkin that all was kosher.
maybe the immigrants, abused workers, can learn ask Rabbi Weissmandel how to make a seder.
It stiry is the same there was a man who enslaved us by the name of Rubashkin and then
the feds came and saved us. And all the Rubashkins and rabbis ended up in jail.

"It stiry is the same there was a man who enslaved us by the name of Rubashkin..."
Typical crap that you morons spew all the time. Not one of those illegals was forced to remain working there. They all had the option to leave and find another job.

Can't wait till the hammer falls on Wiessmandl. He's as guilty as the Rubashkin's. Look for the "For Sale" sign on Yeshiva Nitra after the IRS investigation begins.
What happened in Postville is just the beginning.

Weismandel is NOT from f'n Mount Kisco!
Get your facts right before you spew your crap.
I'm not taking any sides here but can'T bear f'n ignorance!!!

So I guess it is ok to abuse workers break the law and take advantage of people who are just trying to put bread on the table.
I see what ever you learned in Yeshiva did not penetrate you head. Those people might no of have any other options.
Oh I forgot a frum person can never do wrong no matter what the evidence is
