Rubashkin Dispute Highlights Faith Issue
By Jens Manuel Krogstad for the Des Moines Register
WATERLOO, IA — Each morning before he prays in his jail cell, Sholom Rubashkin wraps a thin black band from his forearm to his fingertips, and he wraps another band around his head.
It was the leather straps and a prayer shawl – all viewed as potential weapons – that caused the Black Hawk County sheriff last week to deem Rubashkin’s religious needs too dangerous for the local jail, county officials and Rubashkin’s rabbi said.

Op-Ed: Nosson, My Little Brother
by Yosef Katzman
Sitting Shiva at the Deitsch’s.
I’m hurt, I’m shocked; I’m devastated, I have a new hole in my heart
As I’m struggling with my anger and sadness of Nossons tragic passing, I reflect on life’s journey alongside the Deitsches.
It starts with my very youth, in 1963. We moved onto Crown Street, right across the street of the Deitsches. With Reb Sholom and his wife Mirel, and their wonderful six children.
I remember being somewhat envious of the Deitsches. Reb Sholom was a man in his forties, and he had both his parents. Something that we, the first post holocaust generation, were mostly not privileged to have. My father A”h lost both his parents to famine in Samarkand in the early forties, and by the time he was Bar-Mitzvah, he was fully orphaned. I had no paternal grandparents.

The Rebbe says:
1. In this week’s Torah portion Hashem (G-d) commands us to take care of our brethren in need and loan them interest free money . Hashem finishes off this commandment by saying, “I am Hashem, your G-d, Who took you out of the land of Egypt…” .
Our Sages learn from this verse that, “Anyone who accepts the yoke of the commandment regarding not taking or giving interest, accepts the yoke of Heaven; and anyone who throws off the yoke of this commandment, throws off the yoke of Heaven. This is because anyone who complies with the Mitzvah (commandment) of “Ribbis” (not taking or giving interest) also admits to the fundamental principal of our exodus from Egypt; and anyone who denies the Mitzvah of Ribbis also denies our exodus from Egypt” .
In other words, there is something unique about the Mitzvah of Ribbis which has a special connection to accepting the yoke of Heaven and our exodus from Egypt more than any other Mitzvah. We must try to understand this.
