Letters For Sholom Rubashkin
Letters for Reb Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin
David Bernstein • Matzav.com
Mrs. Leah Rubashkin has informed Matzav.com that since her husband, Reb Sholom Mordechai, was moved to Otisville this past week, she and her family have been able to send him all the messages emailed to him from the Tehillim campaign started on his behalf (see here).
Mrs. Rubashkin said that her husband would like to thank each and every person who has davened for him and expressed support.
“Given the new evidence that has now been uncovered [see here],” she said, “everyone’s Tehillim is definitely having an effect. Please continue to say Tehillim until it is obvious to all the injustice that has been done, so that justice can be finally served and Sholom Mordechai can be home.”
Mrs. Rubashkin told Matzav.com that those who wish to write to Reb Sholom Mordechai may do so to:Sholom Rubashkin 10755-029
FCI Otisville
Federal Correction Inst.
P.O. Box 1000
Otisville, NY 10963

"Reb" Sholom Mordechai ???!!!
Why not "HaRav HaGaon HaTzadik Zechuso Yagein Aleinu Sholom Mordechai"?
Pass the barf bag!

Rubashkin is so retro, Weinstein is the new flava

Agrees with Bassy.
Rubashkin is very '00's
We are in a new decade right now.

What? He couldn't get a prisoner number that contains '770'?
That is a very bad sign indeed for Sholom Mordecai.
Bassy is right. Weinstein is indeed the new Rubashkin.

Why say tehillim when we can wait for the sefer SMR himself writes in prison? It'll make tehillim obsolete. The first few chapters will deal with the ill effects of choking ones chicken and the rest describe the helplessness associated with being the target of the war in shechita in a conspiracy that makes the Kennedy story sound like patty cake patty cake.

I'm predicting that there will be NO community support for weinstein like for Rubashkin. There may be some yoo-hoos here & there that will make noise on his behalf, but not the massive outpouring of love like the thousands in Lakewood. The reason? Because SMR got more than what he deserved. Weinstein's fraud was more money than SMR, & for all the 50 years talk, I'd be surprised if he even gets 10.

1) Many of Madoff's vicitms were non-Jews and Conservative and Reform Jews.
2) The Madoff ponzi scheme ran into the billions (not millions).
3) Rubashkin and his family were huge donors to Chabad and other frum organizations over many years. Not so with Weintstein who with a measly $300 Million ponzi scheme was just starting his role as patron saint of the frum world.
Ergo, Weinstein will find little if any sympathy in the broader frum community.

Weinstein will sing like a canary. That's why he won't get support.
Posted by: WoolSilkCotton | August 13, 2010 at 09:06 AM
weinstein stole from Jews
SAMR stole from banks or Goyim
that could be the diffrence

Weinstein will sing like a Litvak on Shalosh Se'udot.
Posted by: Bill | August 13, 2010 at 09:24 AM
LOL! Bill, that brings back a lot of memories.
Posted by: WoolSilkCotton | August 13, 2010 at 09:41 AM
Weinstein will sing like Kinos on Tisha B'Av, and the Lakewood "Gedoiylim" will say "Ooooiiiiyyyy. It's because we are in Galus that these terrible things are happening to us, and so many heiligeh moisdois of Klal Yisroel and "Torah True Jews" are being targeted..." which will drown out any of the too few and not "choshiv" voices of sanity who are saying "No - it's because you are morally currupt, inept and inconpetent as leaders that these terrible things are happening to us."
And non-Jews will not differentiate between us - modern, moral and ethical Jews - and the Chareidim. And THAT is the most frightening thought of all....

The rabbi will tell the to check the mezuza and Torah scrolls for mistakes.
And, behold, a mistake!
Instead of "don't steal" it says "don't schmeel"!

I hear you Rebitzin and I will answer the call.
Rebitzin, you have kindled my spiritus and I compare you words of courage to the vorten written in the book of Amos; pesukim 3-8, especailly pasuk 8.
I will do mitzves and put on my teffilin tighten them untill my blood pressure increases and my eyeballs swell as a siman ayvel.
I will daven night and day and not day and night.
I will shokel, bench and yodel praising the Moschiach in hopes that The Arabish and Shavartz Bro'hood in Chader take turns gangbanging your criminal element and monster husband who brutally slaughtered countless animals who were direct descendants of Noah's hard work as he was instructed to do by The Abhishter.
May the father of 10 who preferred a life of crime, corruption and criminality over a happy and and joyful family life with you Leacheleh and the kinder, toyreh, study and Yiddishkite now enjoy rock hard backened uncircumzed and circumsized Arabisheh shlong up his dirty tooches and X2 on Shabos.
It is ironic and Beshert that this weeks parsha is Shoftim where moshe instructs the people of Israel to appoint judges and law-enforcement officers in every city; "Justice, justice shall you pursue," he commands them, and you must administer it without corruption or favoritism. Crimes must be meticulously investigated and evidence thoroughly examined -- a minimum of two credible witnesses is required for conviction and punishment.
Gutten Shabos to all.

Does Rubashkin have a mezuzzah on his prison cell?
Posted by: David | August 13, 2010 at 12:13 PM
To the few here on this blog who are anti Rubashkin, no one is crying for winestin, Ezagui, Lebowits or other sicko crooks and child Molesters as for Sholom Rubahskin he was no big supporter of Chabad, the most he gave was donations to Kollel Chabad and few hundred dollars here and there, one of many examples (Helping out a funeral for a Gentile employee).. he was no mega donor but we as human beings will not be Silent on the injustice that was done to Sholom Rubashkin...
Rubashkin story will not end till there is true justice for Sholom Rubashkin.

SMR was honored by Chabad: Cost at least $50,000.
Heshy was honored by Chabad: Cost at least $50,000.
I believe Moshe and Aaron were honored by Chabad cost ....?
And this was just what was on the table, not what was under the table.
Bottom line: over a quarter of million went from the Rubashkin crime family to Chabad and that's just what we know about.

What's wrong with the hat? This stock photo of SMR has bothered me for a while; Surely the hat he wears is not regulation uniform.? It seems to me that the brim of that hat is much wider than normal.
Comments?

Why didn't the Rebbe intervene to ensure he got a "770" prisoner number?
Posted by: David | August 13, 2010 at 07:05 PM
@ David
Cute.
From your lips to Ha'shem's ears.

Games over - teams have gone home - Rubashkin lost.
Heck, I'll write the man.
If he deserves it - if the punishment was too harsh.......... he's a Jew. He's in a tough place. I have 10 minutes.

Agrees with Bassy.

You are mistaken. Bashing Chabad is priority one. The only scandal that can take the place of SMR would be another Chabad scandal. Mr. Rosenberg is indeed trying to push this "draft dodging scandal" as one of the crimes of the century. So SMR has been displaced as the number #1 criminal by the Rebbe himself. So in a sense – the Rebbe lives!!
