[COMMUNICATED]
Readers around the world were disturbed last week to learn the story of Mordechai Freuchter, a young father of 5 who has been, according to his family and several rabbanim, falsely imprisoned. Freuchter has endured severe stress and been harassed by other prison mates due to his religious observance.
The family has now publicly announced that Mordechai has now suffered a stroke, and is wheelchair-bound. Shockingly, the prison will not allow him to be released in order to receive an MRI. They are powerless to hire a lawyer to fight the battle to allow him out for treatment, as they cannot afford the fees. The trial has been postponed for months for the same reason.
Donations are being collected to help the Freuchter family afford the legal fees they need so that he can be fairly represented and released from jail. Rabbi Yaakov Zilberman urges that this is a case of “pidyon shvuyim,” or releasing a Jewish captive.
Contributions have begun to trickle in but nothing even close to the $150,000 needed. The family will continue to pray & watch the campaign’s progress, as a man’s life hangs in the balance.
in what country?????????
Obviously in the Zionist paradise.
What would the MRI do now at this point they should fight for physical therapy they know he can’t walk the mri would only see what damage
What is he charged with or convicted of? Is he in jail (pretrial) or Prison (convicted)?
Without these facts the whole story sounds a bit fishy.
Details and Verification are not necessary. Just send in a check.
Where is your Jewish heart? This prison is really sick, needs to be treated, and the only thing you can say is why is he incarcerated? Is a stroke only an issue if its pre trial? Do drs do an MRI on stroke patients only to see the damage?
Guess people profess to be halacha experts, are the same people professing to be medical experts, without presenting any credentials. Like the talmudic states on a specific person who while being an am Haaretz said “who will give me a tabloid chacham and I will bite him like a snake”, or mi sh’hu gas behalacha he shoteh, which means people that dont learn, yet they keep on stating their own professional halachik facts are a shoteh. (Same shoteh that is mentioned many times where their stupidity is equated with a katan)
PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST WHAT HIS NAME IS FOR TEFILA???
With more detail you may be able to raise more money.
Fake news!!
Look, only the good lord can judge. He’s innocent until proven guilty. He maintains his innocents under the charges. He doesn’t belong there. At all. It difficult on the religious people walking through a store or moving in a neighborhood. I wish I had more to give. I pray he be removed from this prison.
Oh wow I should have proof read that before sending. I was emotional when I typed it. Sorry. LoL
He’s innocent until proven guilty. He maintains his innocence under the charges. Whatever they are. He doesn’t belong there. At all. It is difficult on the religious people just walking through a store or moving into a new neighborhood. They are always persecuted. I wish I had more to give. I pray he be removed from this prison.
