Gedolim Sign Letter Encouraging Yidden To Assist R’ Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin
American gedolim have signed a letter written by the Novominsker Rebbe, Rav Yaakov Perlow, Rosh Agudas Yisroel of America, encouraging Yidden to provide financial assistance to R’ Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin.
The letter, which was written on 9 Tammuz by the Novominsker Rebbe himself, was signed by Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, rosh yeshiva of Philadelphia Yeshiva; the Mattesdorfer Rov, Rav Simcha Bunim Ehrenfeld; and Rav Moshe Wolfson, rov of Bais Medrash Emunas Yisroel of Boro Park and mashgiach of Yeshiva Torah Vodaas.
Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin faces trial in less than two months. Targeted for destruction by PETA and the very unions which have destroyed manufacturing in the country and sent millions of jobs overseas, he will be fighting for his life
Ever person is entitled to a presumption of innocence and the ability to have their day in court to absolve themselves of the charges being brought against them.
The Rubashkin family company ran an exemplary slaughterhouse which supplied Jews across the country with affordable kosher meat. Today, Shalom Mordechai is unable to afford adequate legal counsel which will be able to prove that he is being railroaded and unfairly scapegoated.
The family is renowned for their many acts of tzedakah and chesed which they conducted while they enjoyed financial success. Now, with their business taken from them and without sufficient income to pay their bills, they turn to fellow Yidden with their hands out asking to rescue their beloved husband, father, son and brother.
Those who can assist should make checks out to Pidyon Shvuyim Fund and mail to Pidyon Shvuyim Fund, 53 Olympia Lane, Monsey, NY, 10952-2829.

Well now we can add one more example to our pidyon shevuim list. I am convinced that if I keep reading Matzav, for long enough, I would find “Pidyon Shevuim” claims for every single offense in the penal code.
I mean: I am not opposed to the principle of “melamed zchut” and “Melitz Yoshor”. But on the other hand, look how those who for some reason, even the most futile one, are perceived as an “enemy” are libeled, threatened, intimidated.

A presumption of innocence only applies in a court of law.
