chaim-dovid-zweibel-1Reacting to U. S. District Court Judge Linda Reade’s sentencing of former Agriprocessors CEO Sholom Rubashkin to 27 years in prison and five years probation, Agudath Israel of America executive vice president Chaim Dovid Zwiebel issued the following statement:

This is a dark day.

It is a dark day for American justice. Judge Reade has ignored not only the expert opinion of six former United States Attorneys General and numerous other high-ranking former Justice Department officials that Mr. Rubashkin’s sentence should be significantly less than that recommended by the U.S. Attorney; she has imposed a sentence even more draconian than what the U.S. Attorney sought. There is something very wrong with this picture.

It is a dark day, as well, for American Jewry. While none of us condones any wrongdoing by Mr. Rubashkin, the extraordinary severity of the sentence imposed upon one of our Jewish brothers sends chills of shock and apprehension down our collective spine. This is a horrifying development.

  1. The power of evil will disappear forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    evil intensifies before it ceases.

    May HaShem have mercy of his people IsraEl.

  2. This travesty of justice should be taken to the Supreme Court and the White House.
    JUDGE LINDA READE HAS BURRIED JUSTICE AND DECENCY ON THIS DAY!!

  3. I just hope the Appeals Court restore our faith in the American Justice system – which I alwoays thought, till now, was one of the fairest inthe world.

    May Hashem-soon- restore our judges and remove from us sorrow and groaning-any may HE-alone rule over us with kindness and compassion. (???? ??????? ????????…)
