Thousands Expected at Mass Rubashkin Lakewood Asifa Tomorrow Night

Matzav.com

This Monday night, Rosh Chodesh Av/July 12, a massive community-wide rally will be held at Lake Terrace Hall in Lakewood on behalf of Reb Sholom Mordechai ben Rivkah Rubashkin. The special guest speaker at the event will be the Honorable Bob Barr, a former congressman and presidential candidate.

The greater Jewish community is still appalled by the excessive 27-year sentence handed down by Judge Linda Reade, and as the Rubashkin defense team continues to devote its efforts toward the appeal of the sentence, the Lakewood community will gather en masse to say Tehillim, hear divrei hisorerus, and receive an update on the case.

The event is being held with the endorsement and participation of the roshei yeshiva and rabbonim of the city, and will highlight the shocking saga in which a fellow Yid has been continually targeted. Tens of thousands around the country have already come out in support of Sholom Mordechai, and now Lakewood will hold its own second achdus event, which will feature noted speakers who will describe the pressing need for unified support.

The chairman of the event will be R’ Menashe Frankel. Divrei hisorerus will be delivered by Rav Ephraim Wachsman, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Me’or Yitzchok of Monsey. Divrei bracha will be delivered by Rav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoha. The gathering will also be addressed by Rav Pinchos Lipschutz, publisher of Yated Ne’eman, and R” Getzel Rubashkin, a son of Sholom Mordechai.

The guest speaker, Mr. Barr, is a high profile, forceful advocate demanding justice for Sholom Mordechai, having published articles and held press conferences highlighting the disparities evident in the prosecution of Sholom Mordechai and the subsequent sentencing.

Mr. Barr will address the gathering with an in-depth message pertaining to the travesty of justice and the appeal process that Sholom Mordechai is pursuing.

Matzav.com fails to mention that Bob Barr is a paid member of Sholom Rubashkin's defense team.

I liked Bob Barr in Borat, where Borat gives him a cheese supposedly made from his wife breast milk.

[open minded person]

Tru- he currently is a paid member however h has been an advocate demanding justice before being hired..His recognition of Rubashkin being targeted led to his hiring...not the other way around...

1. The appeal was being planned months ago, even before Nathan Lewin was officially hired.

2. If you think Bob Barr was not in close contact with the Rubashkin Defense Team / Pidyon Shvuyim Fund before being hired, fine – although reasonable people can (and probably should) disagree with you.

3. The normal, ethical thing is to identify Barr as a member of the Rubashkin legal team.

[Hometown Postville]

Are they mourning the fact that their charity meal-ticket is out of commission? Who is paying Leah's bills?

[Shmarya]

Who is paying Leah's bills?

The family still has its assets. The Pidyon Shvuyim / Defense Fund probably pays most of those bills, though.

[nachos]

Is Barr getting paid to attend the rally? I can't beleive I voted for him.

[moshe]

I am not appalled. Not because it is 27 years, but because there are lots of Yidden in prison on sentences just as long, or nearly as lengthy - and not one of you have complained about that. Who is this guy to be the focal point of our complaints about the criminal justice system and length of prison sentences. Where have you been up to now. A lot of organizations and single people have been complaining and arguing that there is a lack of fairness in the process of sentencing. And you have all kept your heads buried in the sand and said a silent prayer, "Not ME!" Wake up from your sleep, we are not immune and big brother is coming. It isn't old fashioned Jew Hatred, it is what American Justice is today. Like someone said, "First they came for the trade unionists, than they

The SMR defense seems to be a unifying act for Chabad and the larger Jewish community. It forces Chabadskers, one on one, into contact with ordinary Orthodox Jews of other persuasions. In the process, they'll likely be forced into putting the "Yechi" mishoogas into the bottom drawer as they don their "stam frumme Yid persona at these events.

[Nigritude Ultramarine]

I'm bring Vodka, but someone else has to bring the Mountain Dew.

[WoolSilkCotton]

++unifying act for Chabad++?

You think everyone in Chabad/Lubavitch supports the Rubashkin Crime Family wholeheartedly and without reservation?
Plenty of Lubavitchers know they are a bunch of crooks, always have been, always will be. Try not attending a Rubashkin rally, or not putting in a donation when they pass the hat, and you will have to deal with immense social pressure or worse.
It is no surprise that the Yechi thugs are Rubashkin's biggest fans as well as enforcers at these rallys for their hero.

Just look at how the shaliach in Philadelphia was assailed when he dared to try to distance Chabad from SMR by saying that the SMR matter wasn't a Lubavitcher problem, but rather a Lubavitcher with a problem.

[Yosef ben Matitya]

WSC
do u have more details on the shaliach in philly being assailed?
thanks

WSC or Shmarya: Please elaborate.

[libby in the hood]

How much money must have the SMR legal defense fund collected? WOW!!!

WoolSilky: I'm catching up with FM after a long and much deserved vacation while sipping a Cuban-Libre or as they call it in Miami a "Mentirita" (a little lie).

Too bad they can't get Candy Barr to appear.

[WoolSilkCotton]

Yosef, Yisroel, please note the first comment after this article:

http://www.crownheights.info/index.php?itemid=27291

"...Email Rabbi Shemtov and ask him why he has stated “this is not a Lubavitcher problem but a Lubavitcher with a problem”. Ask him why it was fine to benefit from the Rubashkins Chesed and Tzedaka when he needed it but now he has ignored this ad refused to us his vast network of connections. His contact info is..."

Also see #7, and other comments on that article.

"...What's wrong with what Rabbi Shemtov said? SMR was not persecuted because he was or is a Lubavitcher! Why in the world would you turn this into a lynching of Rabbi Shemtov? Even if Rabbi Shemtov was wrong (and he isn't), what gives you the right to publicize his private information! You want Rachmonus from Hashem to get SMR released, have some AHAVAS YISROEL and RACHMONUS on someone else..."

[ghj]

You can admit that Rubashkin is a crook, and committed a major hilul Hashem, and still believe that the sentence was totally disproportionate.

There is nothing wrong with any ethnic group sticking up for one of their own. We Jews have a religious obligation to one another-not to protect criminals, but to protest an unjust sentence. This site shows so much out-and-out hatred for Chabad and for him-this is almost as much of a disgrace as the crimes he committed.

[WoolSilkCotton]

++You can admit that Rubashkin is a crook, and committed a major hilul Hashem, and still believe that the sentence was totally disproportionate++

This is not the position of any Chabad voice you hear at any podium. They claim he is totally innocent and the victim of antisemitism.

[Isa]

Adding to what WSC has said

My impression is Rubashkin is deserving of being placed in a Sedan Chair with 20 slaves on either side (more slaves = smoother ride)
A team out front spreading flowers in his path (lest the slaves dirty their feet) and a band playing in the procession and the rest of them screaming hero!

[Hello]

The greater Jewish community is still appalled by the excessive 27-year sentence

The above statement is entirely incorrect. There are only a very small portion of the Jews in America that think this was a harsh sentence. The majority do not like the orthodox, and think the sentence was fair. Please remember the orthodox Jews in America, the vast majority, have no respect for this country.

[seymour]

if the robonum do not mention, stop doing fruad, stop stealing, and just say say tehillim, or do thusva or some other bs then the whole thing is a joke

[FirstGenerationBavarianAmerican]

+++Try not attending a Rubashkin rally, or not putting in a donation when they pass the hat, and you will have to deal with immense social pressure or worse.+++

WSC:
I find this statement chilling. Who is taking attendance at these rallys? And are they just interested in certain individuals who "owe" something, or are they keeping tabs on everyone?

I've heard Rabbi Hecht's pitch on WMCA radio soliciting funds for the defendant. This site has also posted rally announcements (like the subject of this post) and images of flyers that would be seen by the public in various communities announcing a rally.

This publicity portrays the defendant as unfairly targeted. From some of the phone hookups and video of the rallys I've heard/seen, rally attendees are told a highly one sided story. But the payload seems to be a solicitation for funds.

If the rally attendees feel they should contribute some money for legal defenses after hearing the speeches, that's fine. But if they are being "shaken down", I have a real problem with that.

Do you also have more details on this?

[WoolSilkCotton]

The ortho's are about 10% of all Jews in the USA, and represent a spectrum of belief and practice of which haredim/hasidim are only a fraction.

If you live in an isolated ghetto (mental and/or physical), then you might think it's the 'greater Jewish community', but reality says otherwise.
Most Jews in the USA never heard of SMR. Those who have think he's a crook who pretty much got what he deserved.

SMR is just not that interesting or important. Neither are hasidic Jews. All you Rubashkinites need to get over yourselves. Nobody gives a crap about your hero. That's really all there is to it.

[WoolSilkCotton]

FGBA, I'll be in Crown Heights later this week, and I'll ask around.

[Yisroel Pensack]

WSC: Thanks for your reply. Although I could be mistaken, I believe the rabbi you referred in your comment at 12:42 PM as "the shaliach in Philadelphia" (Avrohom Shemtov -- for his full name, see your link to the full first off-site comment you partially cited in your comment here at 02:59 PM) is one of the two co-heads of Chabad-Lubavitch globally.

"Rabbi Abraham Shemtov (or Avraham) is a leading Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi, at the helm of Agudas Chasidei Chabad, the movement's umbrella...organization. He was entrusted by the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson in various missions, including his personal longtime envoy to the White House and the Capitol Hill.

"He is the founding national director of American Friends of Lubavitch, chairman of the executive board of Associated Bais Rivka Schools for girls in New York and the director of Lubavitch activities in Greater Philadelphia, PA, and director of the first Camp Gan Israel in Parksville, NY."

Bob Barr is fast becoming the new Ramsey Clark.

[NotHarold]

I think I may show up at the rally carrying a very discreet sign that says either "BARUCH HaSHEM For 27" or something and bring a stealth film crew to record the reactions.

[Shlomo]

WSC it seems the link and the comment you point to is really part of an internal power struggle within chabad Isn't chabad.info a meshiachist site

[state of disgust]

WSC:
Your comment at 4:53 is spot on.
These people are like guppies looking at a magnified image of themselves and thinking, how impressed the rest of the world must be with their views.
They are a minority, within a minority, within a minority and most Jews I know think the only thing wrong with the sentence SMR got, is that his father and brother weren't included in the charges and sentenced along with him.

[Hello]

27 is the new 18

[Why]

Why is it that all around the world major rallies are taking place but nothing in Crown Heights?

[Harold]

Why is it that all around the world major rallies are taking place but nothing in Crown Heights?

I am sure that he has a lot of support there and that monies is being collected there. Chabad is a global organization and has a lot of support in many locations. I guess people all over want to come out and show him and Jews in general support.

[WoolSilkCotton]

Only the black-hatted antediluvians attend these snake oil pitches for money.
Not exactly what normal Jewish people would attend. There are ultra-orthodox/black hat automatons all over, and only 'they' support him.

[WoolSilkCotton]

BTW, ultra-orthodox Mordecai Samet is serving 27 years in prison for financial fraud. His fellow ultra-ortho fraudsters are also serving lengthy sentences of 12 years or more.
Where are their rallies? I haven't heard a word of support on their behalf from any chasidic troll.
In a few more months the Rubashkin hysterics will also fade out, and SMR will be roommates with Samet.
Meanwhile, the sheep will be fleeced of their money.

Many charities have been hard hit including Chabad. This whole Rubash-in thing appears to be a band-aid for this problem. It's timely and has proven to be quite lucrative. An isolated case of a crook and his family out in Iowa has turned into a cause celebre meant only to get some much needed cash into their coffers while supporting their martyr/poster boy/golden goose/'s family. After all, got to keep the family up and going so they can weep and snivel on command in order to aid in the shnorr efforts. The OU and Chabad don't need Rubash-n and his meat mafia any longer. What isn't past tense in that field will soon be, just too much scrutiny and media attention. He is a agent for Chabad cohesion and a vehicle to get cash coming in. Plain and simple.

"Why is it that all around the world major rallies are taking place but nothing in Crown Heights?"

What is the Repenting Jewess repenting of may we ask? The only human in that family is the poor kid they pimp out without conscience of any kind. The Rubash-ins are a tribal collection of dirt bags.
