Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin Denied Basic Rights

SHOCKING: Thursday evening, after sitting through an hour-long recitation of the jury’s verdicts in Sioux Falls, Iowa, Reb Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin was detained pending a bail hearing at the insistence of Peter Deegan. If that were not shocking enough, the ordeal he was subsequently put through is positively offensive, contemptible, and a black mark on the justice system of the United States.

Reb Shalom Mordechai was taken by the US Marshals service to South Dakota State penitentiary in Sioux Falls pending transfer to Iowa. He was not allowed to make a phone call to inform his lawyers or his family of his location. One of the Marshals, upon learning of this, was nice enough to call the family. They would have otherwise not known where he was.

Emissaries of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement are a hardy lot — part envoys, part pioneers — who agree to settle anywhere in the world where their leaders decide that Jewish communities need bolstering, whether in Anchorage or Bangkok or northern Kyrgyzstan.

Often the only Lubavitchers for miles around, they are used to being gawked at and asked to explain themselves, usually in a nice way, though not always. “How long did it take to grow that beard, dude?” is a pretty common query in the United States, they say.

Construction Workers Preparing the Armory

The non-descript building occupying a square block on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, draws little attention of passersby and local residents. But this Sunday evening, thousands will file into the Troop C Armory for the banquet session, concluding the International Conference of Shluchim.

When Lieutenant Paul Grout petitioned the Ways and Means Committee for $150,000 to house his cavalrymen, he can hardly have pictured the troops who would dine in his drill hall 109 years later.
