Hi. My name is Roza Weiss. I am the daughter of Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin. I live in Colonie, NY with my husband and three daughters (ages four, three and twelve months).

I am sure you are aware of the current situation of the Rubashkin family. The government has targeted our family, and my father in particular, using them as scapegoats. They have been all over the media in this massive witch hunt. I don’t think I could ever have even dreamt such a nightmare. This has been an extremely difficult and desperate time for our family. We truly can not understand the ways of Hashem.

I was brought up in a home that was always full of Chesed and Tzedokah. People would travel to Iowa to ask for help because they knew they would never get turned down. My father never said “no” to anyone that has come to him for help. Everyone was always treated with utmost respect and we always prayed that Hashem would continue to bless our family with the means to continue helping others in their hour of need, and even more importantly, that everyone should have all that they need and nobody should have to ask.

By the time the government began intensifying their attack on my father, shortly before arresting him, my father was left with no finances to defend himself – the immense effort to save the family business coupled with legal bills had completely drained his resources and we had to avail ourselves of the kindness of others. You cannot imagine how hard it was for me to go knocking on people’s doors begging them to help save my father.

Fortunately, the Jewish people are like family and I was received warmly. People clearly saw that this was a vendetta – that it was not about what my father did or didn’t do; rather, it was about who he was. A Jew. As the prosecutor clearly said, a “defacto dual citizen”.

Furthermore, the Jewish community knows of the good that my father (and our family in general) has consistently done for anyone in need, and so they have been very gracious to help us in our time of need.

Shortly after my father was arrested a committee was formed to try and help out. They have been very involved every step of the way, including in making financial decisions.

We have been able to come up with the funds until now and are working very hard to come up with the rest. People have been very generous and have stretched themselves to give donations from the hundreds to the hundred thousands.

We are now at the final stages with a trial set for October 13th two days after Sukkos, the Yom Hilula of the Bardichiver. Baruch Hashem, the lawyers just won two very important motions to continue the case as well as a change of venue and are very optimistic.

They estimate the case from now until the end of the trial will cost about $500,000.

I now turn to you, asking you to please help us.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart and may Hashem bentch you and your family with good health, happiness and only the greatest success in all your endeavors!

Kesivah vachasimah tovah.

  1. I gave a donation that I am able to give. If I could I would give more. I am asking all acheinu benei yisroel; give something. It’s before Yom Hadin, we all need zechusim. Something is better than nothing. May Hakodosh BH have rachmonus on this holy yid, and may he and his family only know of good things.

  2. May your father and the entire family have a Yeshuah from this very soon, and may Hashem bentch the entire family with gezunt, parnasah, and freedom from this witch hunt.

  3. I know well some of the amazing chasadim that the rubashkin family has doen for thousands of families for many many years ,w/o nobody realizing.PLEASE HELP THEM!!!!!!!

  4. Show a signed P’sak Halacha before you open your mouth to persuade other yidden not to perform the mitzvah of tzedakah.
    In the merit of your future teshuva, may HaShem watch you that you should never have to go through anything of this sort.

  5. I agree show a signed P’sak. why should you confused others ? reguardless if you are correct or not. There are people here like myself who cant even understand hebrew well. If you write in english write the whole thing in english.I translate please get a signed P’sak or write it in any unknown language. what would be the differents ? I wish I could say this nicer to you. however, I am also in my own jail.and have a 50 thousand dollar debt. it is crushing. perhaps if we all help one in other in matters that are not CLEAR as situation obviously is. Hash-m in his great mercy will not cause such overwhelming situations. I hope and pray that Hash-m brings a miracle to this family today.

  6. the Rubashkin family was and always will be a family that took care of the needy, I can tell you from my first hand experiance. please help a awsome jew!!

  7. When we moved to Israel, we were in financial trouble after a few months. The only people who really tachlis helped us were the Rubashkins. They helped us for a couple of years until we got our feet back on the ground, Yishtabach Shemo.
    The Rubashkins have helped so many yidden for so many years — please open your hearts and help this amazing family in their time of trouble.
    May Hashem send you many brachot for your kindness.

  8. All those who are against giving money to help, I think you should re evaluate your ahavas yisroel.

    If your family member was in jail G-d forbid for what ever reason what so ever, woud you have any question and need a psak din to push you to help him???

    How low can we fall???
    How can we be so cold and try to cool down others from helping a jew in distress???

  9. we need to make a mass Appeal for a Complete Pardon for time served !

    every supporter should sign

    document request should include all comparative material.

    we must bring great pressure to bear on this request!
