Come Show Your Support Once Again!

Dear Anash:

We want to thank everyone that came and participated in this very important case of Pidyon Shevuim to help the Rubashkin family. The sentencing phase of this trial was supposed to last for two hours, and it lasted for almost eight hours, the judge postponed the final few minutes of the proceedings to tomorrow morning at 9:30am.

We feel that overwhelming support from the community will have a positive impact on the outcome. We are begging everybody and anybody to please come tomorrow. Plus, if you can, please join Moishe Rubashkin tonight by the Ohel at: 11:00pm.

Again unlike today, we believe that tomorrow’s proceeding will be very short, because all relevant testimony was heard today.

Tomorrow Morning: Rare Opportunity for Pidyon Shevuyim

Dear Anash,

The Rubashkin family is well-known in our community for their Ahavas Yisroel and Tzedakah. Lamentably, charges against them have been complicated by the slander of a few former associates looking for revenge.

Tomorrow morning—Monday, November 3—a Pennsylvania judge will sentence R’ Moshe Rubashkin and his son.

It is not for us to act as judge and jury of our fellow Jews. What we can and must do is stand together in support of truth. In particular, it is our responsibility to show a secular judge, a skeptical legal system and a “gotcha” media that our community does not abandon its own.

The following is an important recall which applies to many cribs that have been given to Kollel Yungerlite over the past few years. please read:

Delta Enterprise Corp. has recalled nearly 1.6 million drop side cribs after two babies suffocated when the drop side detached. The recall includes cribs with two different kinds of broken hardware, including 985,000 “Crib Trigger Lock with Safety Peg” drop side hardware, and 600,000 “Crib Trigger Lock with Spring Peg” drop side hardware.

Although neither of these cribs are currently sold at stores, you should check cribs you already own to make sure they’re not included.

PSA: Crown Heights S’Chach Pickup

The Crown Heights JCC has once again arranged with the Forestry division of the NYC Parks Dept. to have all the S’chach picked up starting Monday, October 27th until the end of the week.

The Parks Dept. vehicles will be going down every block in the community to pick up the S’chach put out in front of your house along the curbside. The vehicles will be going through the community only one time on a route that has not yet been determined. Therefore we do not know which street will be first and which street second, etc.
