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.

Mazal Tov! – Its A Girl!

We would like to wish Mazal Tov to Yossi and Rivky (nee Lerman) Pelman (Crown Heights) on their firstborn daughter- Chaya Mushka.

May the newborn be a source of Nachas to her parents, grandparents, relatives and Klal Yisroel.

Forward

Fire at Minnesota Plant Follows Shutdowns of Two Agriprocessors Facilities

BUFFALOW LAKE, MN — In developments that are likely to cripple the availability of kosher beef in large parts of America, three of the five largest slaughterhouses producing kosher beef have halted production this week.

All eyes have been on the nation’s largest kosher slaughterhouse, in Postville, Iowa, which stopped producing beef last week due to a series of legal problems and arrests at its parent company, Agriprocessors. That company also owns a slaughterhouse in Gordon, Neb., which is thought to be the nation’s fifth-largest plant producing kosher meat. While little attention has been paid to the Gordon plant, local officials told the Forward that it stopped operating in October.
