DES MOINES, IA — Federal prosecutors have agreed to drop identity-theft charges against a former Postville slaughterhouse executive in a light of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Prosecutors this afternoon asked a federal judge to dismiss seven counts of aiding and abetting aggravated identity theft, in response to a motion filed last week by Sholom Rubashkin’s lawyer.

Wife of Jailed Developer, Reina Ezagui Asks for Help

Developer Eli Ezagui

Dear Crown Heights Residents:

My name is Reina Ezagui.

I used to live in Crown Heights with my wonderful husband Eliyahu and our four children–but now live in Israel because there was nowhere else to go.

Make no mistake: I stand by my husband 100%–which is exactly why you need to hear what I have to say. Forget the rumors. I want to tell you what Eliyahu’s ongoing legal battles are doing to our family.

BOROUGH PARK, Brooklyn — It's a fill-up with a schmear.

A gas station in one of Brooklyn's Orthodox Jewish communities is offering up more than just candy and soda — it's also peddling hearty stews, bagels with lox, challah and homemade gefilte fish for commuters hankering for an old-country nosh.

“People fill up on gas and fill up on food at the same time,” said Sam Kay, 50, as he munched on goodies at Rio gas station in Borough Park. “It's good, Jewish and tasty.”
