[Audio below.] Sunday night, a supper gathering was held at the home of Rav Menachem Meir Weissmandel in Monsey, NY, to raise much needed funds for the defense of Reb Sholom Mordechai ben Rivka Rubashkin.
The successful event was addressed by Rav Weissmandel, rov of Nitra-Monsey, as well as by Yerachmiel Simmins, the noted Monsey askan, and Yoel Schwartz, a dynamic young askan in Kiryas Yoel who has devoted himself to the Rubashkin case. Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz of Monsey also spoke.
The supper was superbly catered by Glauber’s Catering of Monsey.

Amazing divrei chizuk from Rabbi Lipschutz. A big thank you for posting this.
It is shelo kderech hateva that this viscious pursuit of Sholom Mordechai has reached this point with no governmental intervention. Mr. Aaron Avraham Rubashkin, Shalom Mordechai’s father, who opened a tiny butcher store on 14th Avenue in Boro Park around 1956-7, survived Stalin. But here in the poster boy democracy of the world, the worst travesty of justice is taken place openly. So, too, HaKadosh Baruch Hu will send a yeshuah to Sholom Mordechai also above natural ways.
The zechuios of Sholom Mordechai HaLevi ben Rivkah of how he upheld shmiras mitzvos and firm bitachon,in his gehenom will carry him in this world, speedily, and after 120 good, healthy years, in Olam HaEmes. And Sholom Mordechai’s neighbor in Gan Eden also after 120 good years, will surely be Rabbi Pinny Lipschutz.
How dare you compare the U.S. to Russia. This is a malchus shel chesed and never before in our history have we had such religous freedom and opportunity.
