“We the undersigned call for Mr. Sholom M. Rubashkin to be released to spend the upcoming Passover Holiday with his dependent children, and until his sentencing. We urge you to consider that Mr. Rubashkin is not a flight risk as he would never abandon his children, nor his elderly parents. Guaranties such as ankle brace, house detention, guards, and collateral have been offered. This excessive incarceration before his sentencing has horrified and shocked us.
We furthermore urge leniency in his case. The embellished and distorted charges against Mr. Rubashkin have been proliferated through a smear campaign orchestrated by PETA, the UFCW, anti-Semitic groups and sensationalist media. The net effect of the smear campaign has been predictable, culminating in the almost universal vilification of an innocent man and a conviction in the courtroom of public opinion long before he had his day in court. If anyone is deserving of sympathy, support and maximum leniency, it is Sholom Rubashkin, because is truth he is an exemplar of ethical behavior and upstanding character traits.”

Give him words of Hisorirus etc. I challenge even 10% of the petitioners that are able to give a litlle of their time and money (travel expenses) for someone who gave so much to Klal Yisroel. SMR is an amazing personality and deserves… Read more »

I personally learnt for a year in the yeshiva of postville which Rabbi Rubashkin funded.This was a tremendous financial relief on my parents. He additionally payed out of his pocket 20 a week to those of us who would come 15 minutes early every day to learn. Each week he would invite many students to his house to have the shabbos meal. And every saturday night, he made a special celebratory meal with us and taught us how important it was. Such a generous man deserves to be home with his family.
Wish there were more of you guys voicing concern, just like us chassidim would stand up for what’s morally right and just in our great community! May the words that come from your mouth be true and real speedily before Pesach.
#43 You are so, so right.
I’m concerned. I, too, was worried that it was an impulsive well-meant petition but perhaps not the right one. Let’s keep davening and if a petition is being sent., it still looks better with as many signatures as possible
There is an Eibishter and when He decides to let SMR free he will and if it wasn’t his time until now, we have to do our part to make it his time now and the judge will be affected!

48 comments so far and only #43 and #48 make sense, especially the former. The English isn’t even English, cf. the last phrase “…because is truth he is an exemplar …” You can’t tell the court system he is innocent and that they are anti-semites and expect to get a positive response. This petition is only so that the signers can feel holy. Wow, I’m impressed, you signed and you are #39,457! Yer goin’ to Gan Eden fer shur.
chas ve’shalom
omg, if it goes at this rate.. its gona get rly far!!!
maybe the judge will accept this for once:)
Moshiach Now!!!
These petitions have proven themselves to be ineffective with this judge. She doesn’t care and she is resolute to keep SMR in jail.
you must send shalom home now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong petition, why did they drag in peta and anti semitism? why cant they just request that he be let out for peasach.. this isnt the time or place to argue the above…
Its foolishness like this that is causing us much harm overall.
