Your financial support is also very important, please send donations to the Pidyon Shivuyim/Legal Fund at 824 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11213 or click onto this link Donate PSF  to make a direct payment into the Pidyon Shivuyim Fund account.

The Pidyon Shevuyim Fund link goes to the National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education's Pidyon Shevuyim Fund.

Please click to enlarge:

Note there is no way to earmark funds for a specific case of pidyon shevuyim, meaning all funds go to Rubashkin.

Here are screenshots of the next two pages in the donation process, taken a few minutes ago:

As you can see, there is no way to earmark funds, meaning all funds go to Rubashkin.

This also means Chabad's NCFJE Pidyon Shevuyim Fund is maintained specifically for Rubashkin.

The NCFJE is an official Chabad organization. It's founder was one of 2 or 3 men who could see the Rebbe unannounced and without an appointment whenever he wanted, and its office is located a half block from Chabad World Headquarters in Brooklyn:

Rabbi Shea Hecht, one of the heads of this fund, told reporters last year Chabad followers and all Jews are forbidden to moser, inform, on Jews – even on Jews who committed violent crimes. Hecht used this reasoning to explain why Chabad followers would not turn over to police the Chabad men who beat a black youth in Crown Heights. The youth is the son of a cop, and the case nearly sparked riots.

Rabbi Hecht summed up his thoughts on the matter this way:

"In essence, I am not allowed to snitch, period." 

What better way to ensure silence than a nearly bottomless legal defense and personal support fund?

A really sickening abomination !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need a prayer for Postville, When will it ever end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sage]

Hi CC,

Face the facts.

Big Chabad doesn't give a sh-t about Postville or its Citizens.

Asking them to also pray for Postville is like asking Iran to destroy all of its nuclear facilities and sign a permanent peace treaty with Israel.

Wow.. I did not thoink that Pidyon Shivuim was about helping criminals avoid justice. I thought it was for prisoners of war or hostile people being held hostage ? Has Lubavitch spent such efforts freeing the Israeli soldier taken prisoner and still not released ? because somehow, I thinkt hat is what was really meant by this "mitzvah".

Let's start a collection for charles mason too !

[concerned citizen]

Sage: I realize they don't give a s--t about Postville. I meant a prayer for Postville so we can get rid of this mess and move on, which I hope we can do someday.

If I am reading this right, they are meeting up in the Chabad house on the perimeter of the cemetery. I wonder if there will be people on hand to solicit donations to the Pidyon Shivuyim/Legal Fund?

Of course.

Very generous of Scott for donating $1 to the fund. It is not the amount but the thought that counts. Especially that he himself is soliciting funds for himself.

To get rid of this mess and move on, I see only one presciption, as I've mentioned many times before:

Get an ironclad BOYCOTT of Agri-Star in place by Postville Businesses, Cattle Barns, Feed Suppliers, etc.

This will get rid of the Plant and the Chabad Criminal Cancerous Community.

Then, Postville can move on.

Prayers, unfortunately, won't do the trick.

Concerted action will.

The rebbe himself would be ashamed of SMR and would want nothing to do with him. He's probably beseeching G-d in heaven to have SMR locked up for life.

Can we have a prayer for the kosher meat we now have at our local supermarket? To make the packages easier to open?

[Rob Wisler]

Shmarya,
Why do you refer to Menacham Schneerson as "The Rebbe"? By doing so, you feed and encourage the cultish worship of this demagogue. Refer to him as "Schneerson" or the "late leader of Chabad" or something like that. As a man who has escaped from this cult, you should be on your guard to not encourage their unspeakable behavior.

Yhe inside of the NCFJE office is like a pigsty, filthy, floors grey with dirt, never washed. I used to support them, no more. They are full of s--t. They talk of collecting money for the poor, I think it goes to their family, which is 100's of people big.
Some of them are on food stamps, for sure, but have livein maids, (illegal immigrant maids). How's that for injustitude? Not only do they want the public to support them via donations, but they also have our government, meaning us, the taxpayers, giving them food stamps, and meanwhile, they have live-in help, illegal aliens of course. Runs in the family.

i pray but not for rubishkin.
i say birkat haminim

[yosef ben matitya]

@ the grave site? holy smoke!
he might come out n hug them.

I pray that Agri Star... Pays what they the poultry farmers!!! I think Agri processors pulled a fast one on the courts. Easy way to get by not paying debts...just file bankruptcy and then reopen as anotehr company, still owned thru the same family in NY. Something Stinks!!!

[Tim Kamstra]

I pray tha Agri Star pays the poultry producers the money they owe!! Something stinks!! Agri processors and the "family" pulled a fast, slick one on the courts and the legal system in the United States. I think the "family" saw a way out to not pay the the people they owed money to. A bankruptcy, never shut your doors, keep operating, set up another "family" company, and things go on, except...the "family" gets out of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars. Pretty slick..the "family" in NY just pulled the wool over the entire court system. It Stinks!!!
