Thousands are expected to attend a second gathering in Lakewood in support of Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin, tonight.
The event for women and girls will take place at Toras Aron Hall, 500 Summer Avenue in Lakewood at 8:00 pm.
The event follows a gathering for men at Lakewood’s Terrace Hall on Monday, which drew 8,000 people and raised $300,000, organizers said.
Mrs. Leah Rubashkin, wife of Sholom Mordechai, as well as his daughter Roza Hindy Weiss, are scheduled to speak.
Rubashkin, the former manager of the Agriprocessors kosher meatpacking plan in Postville, Iowa, was convicted of bank fraud and related charges in what has been decried by the legal community as overzealous targeting by prosecutors to justify the disastrous immigration raid on the Agriprocessors plant in May 2008.
Rubashkin’s sentence of 27 years in prison runs counter to many legal scholars – including six former U.S. attorneys general – who said a lengthy prison sentence for the 51-year-old first-time, non-violent offender was counter to the public’s interest.
