Rubashkin Hopes To Be Free Soon So He Can "Serve God All Of The Time!"
Rabbi Sholom Rubashkin, currently serving 27 years in federal prison for for bank, wire and mail fraud along with related crimes, meets with his attorneys and then immediately emails his daughter saying, "Baruch Hashem [thank God] it will be a good keli [vessel] for the goal, which is to vacate and throw out the conviction and I will be free to serve Hashem [God] all of the time!"
Chabad.info posted the following screenshot of an article from last Wednesday's Hamodia about Sholom Rubashkin's appeal, Rubashkin's Passover celebration and his wife's Passover plans:

i just received this email from the family that supports rubashkin family in monsey....i guess the word "serves and servants" is big in chabad. all fine and good ...but just do it don't talk about it all the time.
---------
wishing all of our friends and family a truly redemptive Pesach!
May we leave our constrictions and bounds with great wealth... and be free to truly receive Torah and enjoy being the servants of only good and G-d!

With blessings,

oh, he's going to START serving g-d, because he sure as hell wasn't before.

dear SMR, god is in deep trouble if he needs or wants you as his servant and representative. if you really love god, distance yourself from him. god hates the bad PR you bring. he told me to tell you that. he would have told you himself but he's no longer speaking to you. try jesus or allah. glad i could help.

Apologies to Bob Dylan:
You may be a convict in Otisville entranced
You may like to grumble, at a simcha you might dance
You may be the meat messiah of the world
You may be a Hasid with a long string of curls
Chorus:
But you’re gonna have to serve some fleishigs, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve some fleishigs
Well, it may be some flanken or it may be rib steak
But you’re gonna have to serve some fleishigs
You might be a publicity addict, all the world's your stage
You might have shills at your command, women in a cage
You may be a businessman or some high-degree thief
They may call you Rabbi or they may call you priest
Chorus
You may be a mass duper, you might be a shliach
You may be the scion of the guy they call Moshiach
You may be rich or poor, your excuses may be lame
You may be living in another country under another name
Chorus
You may be a a former butcher who liked to kvell
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a cell
You might owe tons and you might say no thanks
You might be somebody’s slumlord, you might even cheat banks
Chorus
You may be a maggid with your spiritual pride
You may be an employer with illegals by your side
You may be workin’ in an abattoir, you may know how to schect meat
You may be somebody’s supplier, may be somebody’s cheat
chorus
Might like to wear fedoras, might like to wear black
Might like to drink Mountain Dew, might like to be cut slack
You might like to eat charoset, you might like to eat matzoh
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping with a "schvartze"
Chorus
You may call me Yochanan, you may call me Yochi
You may call me Johnny, you may call me Joker
You may call me YL, you may schrei oy vey
You may call me anything but no matter what you say
Chorus

Ruthie, what do people really think behind the scenes about the Rubashkin Criminal Family? I have to think that not everyone is so stupid as to worship those crooks, but people are afraid to say anything aloud.

To all the crew here at FM, a wonderful and kosher Pesach!
Posted by: WoolSilkCotton | April 18, 2011 at 02:29 PM
I hate Rubashkin as much as the next guy but the truth is I do what he was convicted of all the time and much worse. His crime was one of stupidity. He stuck out like a sore thumb and got caught. 27 years is not right. If stupidity is a crime, he should get 100 years. If it is not he should be home for Pesach.

So where is your slaughterhouse located?

WSC not saying anything and supporting the family are two different things.
supporting the family speaks volumes..to me
a sweet pesach to you and all on FM

+++ I do what he was convicted of all the time and much worse. +++
Whoever you are, I have to give you credit for admitting that you are involved in wrongdoing, something that SMR has never or will ever do.
Your main premise I disagree with.
SMR thought he was smarter than law enforcement authorities, and, as such, would never be convicted.
But, unfortunately for him, they proved to be smarter than he was.

Does anyone else remember Harold complaining that he was homeless? How's the criminal life working out for you?

Yechi Yochi !

27 years for taking money from your own company. thats bull. but dont stop dancing until you get to dance on his grave.
I wonder how you would feel it it was your father. I bet youd want him to commit suicide too.
However bad his mistakes were most of you here are way worse then him - Id rather be stuck on an island with Sholom than with 1 of you - Id rather someone who might make a mistake over someone who can smile and be happy and have real satisfaction from someone else's pain
Look yourself in the mirror and think about all the things you have done that were not so kosher and maybe - gasp - against the law.
PS: You know why this site is BS? How many posts a day would a site dedicated to crimes done by secular jews have?
How about a site dedicated to the crimes of non-jews? With headlines such as:
"Non-Jew rapes women"
"Atheist robs bank"
How many posts would you have a day?
This site runs off of a few stories and has to dig around to post another detail here and there...
Oh No! The frumies are coming.

I am B"H homeless no more thanks to all the wonderful charities and fundraising scams out there for the taking. SMR and I have much in common except that I know the Rebbe is dead and as I said before - the moron got caught. Hell, I may move to Monsey just to be near Leah in her 2 million dollar freshly painted home and piss him off. But who knows, maybe one day soon I will be a headline here although I think Shmarya has become a bit soft lately.

your first sentence shows how clueless and dishonest you are.

Rubashkin is only guilty of borrowing more money than he was allowed too. He did not steal anything. He did not pay back the bank because the Prosecutors shut him down.
Posted by: joe flood | April 29, 2011 at 01:18 PM
That's absolutely false. He took $1.5 million for himself and stole a total of $26 million.
A loan based on collateral means if for any reason the loan is called in, the collateral is available to the bank if the borrower cannot repay.
Rubashkin grossly and illegally inflated the value of that collateral, which is why the bank lost money.
And that is theft under the laws of all western countries and most other countries, as well. And it is theft under halakha, as well.
