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.
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.
Please show your support by attending tomorrow’s court proceedings. Rabbi Yosef Y. Jacobson will address the court, presided over by the Hon. Judge James Noah Gardner.
A bus from Crown Heights will leave Crown and Kingston at 6:45 am and return after the sentencing. For additional information or ride options, please call Mendy Simon at: 917-445-8877.
Information to keep in mind:
Location:
United States District Court
Federal District of Pennsylvania
James A Byrne Federal Courthouse
601 Market Street
Philadelphia, PA 19106
Time: 10:00 am
Case ID: 07498-1
Please give yourself enough time to pass security and be seated. Remember to bring picture ID for security clearance.
Due to the actions of those looking to hurt the Rubashkins, this case is no longer about the court’s charges, but about our community’s moral commitment to stand up for its own. The turnout at tomorrow’s sentencing will tell the world whether we will support a family that supports us or whether we have hung a fellow Jew out to dry.

Good luck!
Whoever can, make sure to be there!!!!

for those that cannot make it, can we send our emails or do something without our presence there?

This is the least we can do for Moshe Rubashkin after having shmeared his name in forums such as this.
In fact, the prosecution in the case has used our own articles and comments on websites etc. to build their case against him. The fremde do not understand the dynamics of our community politics and all of the outright lashon hara is literally putting one of our own behind bars. We should all learn from this to be careful how we paint somebody, especiaaly those that have advocated for our community.

Rubashkins, we wish you the most hatzlocha and may Hashem shower brochos on you! I wish I could be there, but I am out of the country.
He extended a hand and i-ll do the same
As an outsider:
You guys that are in the community HAVE NO IDEA what Moshe Rubashkin has done FOR THE COMMUNITY helping needy families, literally putting his life and money on the side for other families, for children from broken homes and so much more i wish i can divulge on this forum.
UNFORTUNATELY, inner politics have blinded many community members who WOULD NOT LIFT A FINGER FOR A FAMILY LYING IN THE GUTTER, and are more interted in their own political agendas and not whats best for the most needing.
Show your support for this wonderful man, a true pillar in society.
disclosure: I have never done business with Moshe, i am not a relative, and doubt that Moshe can even identify me if i shared my name.
My g-d be with you
Our hearts, souls and good deeds are with you.
May Hashem protect, your son and all of Klal Yisrael from harm in the future!

Is there a direct email to the Crown Attorney handling Moishe’s case? I’d like to bombard him or her with only good heartfelt accolades about Moishe and his charity work, and about the necessity of letting him off the hook as he is badly needed by the North American Jewish community and beyond. Hashem, have compassion and turn this ugly gzeirah around immediately please!!!!!! AD MOSAI! AD MOSAI!
When I was on a date!
I have to say that Moshe is A unbelievable ball chesed ! I know Moshe from the community but never had anything really to do with him! When I was going out I heard that Moshe was this incredible person. So I approached him and asked if I can borrow his car for a date .WITHOUT BLINKING AN EYE HE SAID YES COME PICK UP THE KEYS AND I NEED IT BACK BY 6 AM!!!!
That’s MOSHE!
WE STAND BEHIND YOU!
He probably doesn’t even remember the story.

Rubashkin, Hatzlacha Rabb! Lubavitch has been through far worse than this and with the Rebbe’s (MH”M) brocho we WILL SUCCEED.

The other side of the window!
I was requested to, if at all possible, to be part of the group going to PA as support. I was unable to do it, but I asked for his name to say Tehilim:
Moshe Rubashkin Ben Rivkah Dinah.
May Hashem look down on one of His most special Shluchim, and help him in his hours of need!
Only a recipient can understand what a special human being being Moshe Rubashkin is!!!!
You may all know him from one side of the glass window…. but those of us who have met his chesed ways from the other side of the window… and had at times felt lost and alone…. he was there. In his humble and unassuming way, he came forth, more times than are known.
He needs us to come forward now for him.
And all of you/us out there know who you/we are! And what needs to be done! Less talk and more action, Hayikar hu hamaaseh! Open up your Tehilim, and let’s get to work!
miryam Swerdlov
I am really sorry that i cannot go, i teach on monday morning, but my thoughts and t’filos are with the entire Rubashkin Family, whose chessed is beyond words.
May this g’zeiro be over, because a g’zayro on you, is a g’zeiro on ALL of us.

No time for internal politics, time to turn to the TORAH and support our brothers, our fellow Jews. The Rebbe would want EVERY SINGLE PERSON who could go, Lubavitch or not, every Jew needs to be there……this is the call of the hour. THe polls are open late…go, then vote….lplease do both, of course. We need HaShems intervention today, more than ever and HE loves nothing more than to see ahavas chinim, just love Moshe now, he is your fellow jew before anything!!!!
