Everyone should pray with everything they have every day and especially this tishubav, all the way through Yom Kippur with everything they have. We should toss every last piece of loshon hora in the garbage. Most of all we should smile to one another from our hearts and open our personal cheesed to each other. We should understand that shalom bayitz is the key to help Shlomo Rubashkin. When we r about to talk not nice to our child, wife, husband, friend….. We need to stop and if for nothing else think of ShlomoRubashkin who wishes he could be in… Read more »

How do you know those you are referring to have not been quietly, discreetly doing what they can? Do they need to inform you? or maybe they have a different opinion, is that allowed?

You write: “I’ts not necessary for a Chabadnik to show up at a rally in Boro Park, after all the Boro Parkers know well that we are pained and in anguish, they come to show their support to us” – Du machst a groiser to’us! I hust spent two weeks in BP and the most common question there a bout the whole case is, the whole BP is shtureming, gathering, contributing… Where in the world is Lubavitch??!! Why the silence??!!

Lubavitchers did more than humanly possible....
July 14, 2010 12:19 am

I know b/c I donated my $5,000 diamond bracelet that I got for my engagement…among other things. B”h ALL Yidden (and goyim too,lehavdil)! were helped by the Rubashkins and now they can repay him too!

Crucial Point by Bob Barr
July 14, 2010 12:13 am

Number 13 here, I wanted to add another crucial point. When I expressed the sentiments I wrote in my above post to other Lubavitchers, I’ve gotten responses such as: “Who said Lubavitch isn’t doing just as much”, and “We’re not using publicity because that’s not our Derech”, and even “Using publicity will make it worse for SMR, not better”. Well -to all those who feel the same way, in Bob Barr’s (former congressman & presidential candidate) speech he emphatically stated that the ONE most important thing we can all do to free SMR is to attack the media and politicians.… Read more »

In defense of crown heights
July 13, 2010 11:05 pm

Right now Crown Heights is a smaller community with limited resources and would not be able to pull off the numbers that Lakewood & Boro Park can.

Dear Collive
If you want to post 300,000 was raised last night at the lakewood asifa for sholom rubashkin

Just wanted to let you know that there are plenty of people that live in Lakewood that are saying tehillim daily for Rav Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin, there are also countless people that are being very makpid with lashon hora and speech in the morning hours in his zechus. There are yeshiva bochorim that live here that run to read the daily news update in the Hamodia. This rally was tremendous kiddush hashem. Mi k’amcha yisroel.

Stop critisizing Chabad
July 13, 2010 5:48 pm

All of you who are comlpaining about the lack of Chabad of publicizing SMR’s plight. What would a rally in CH achieve? Every member of the CH community & every Chabadnik worldwide know the situation and we are all doing what we can either saying Tehillim, learning in his Z’chus or giving money, I’m sure the Askonim within Chabad are doing their best with their connections in the higher echelons of government etc.. I’ts the rally’s in Boro Park, Monsey, Lakewood etc. that are the huge added bonus to our efforts, showing the world that every jew cares for every… Read more »

We can do so much more! Please! I am crying tears!

July 13, 2010 4:10 pm

I agree with you 100%!!!
I wish i had the power and connections. Why can’t Chabad do something like this, I think that if chabad could unite,and make a gathering like this, it will make a shturem in shamayim!! I think that beruchnius this is all that is missing…What else haven’t we done??

You’re pretty insensitive to write that to a family member of SMR.

We need to march in Washington.

To the shuluchim- don’t be afraid to stand up for what is right.

NO 13
July 13, 2010 12:30 pm

I can’t be bothered to read your huge Drasha. You could have put it in 3 sentences. Od Mosai etc. Furthermore, last night’s rally isn’t good enough for you? If you want to organize a million man march in front of the Lincoln Memorial Washington then go for that idea. That’s what the blacks did and it worked!

attention all yidden
July 13, 2010 12:30 pm

the achdus wow!! the sense of responsibility that we yidden feel for each other is outstanding!! thank you yidden!!! may sholom mordechai have a complete yeshuah and march on the frontlines with moshiach now!

#10 and #13
July 13, 2010 9:26 am

#10, Chabad arranges plenty of stuff and just because they dont arrange ONE thing doesnt mean you should say, “Why doesn’t Chabad do some thing like this?” And #13 ur thing is WAY too long. No one is going to read it!

July 13, 2010 9:22 am

the previous comment to no. 13 is an error. It was directed to no. 16. No. 13 was a beatiful comment. Please do not direct my comment to n0. 13. It was directed to no. 16. Sorry

July 13, 2010 9:19 am

Number 16. Where is the rally that YOU organized. Talk is cheap .I guess now it’s shame on you. You sound very concerned. Do something yourself. Very concerned to scream out shame on you. But not concerned enough to actually DO something.

July 13, 2010 6:31 am

Just a moment:

Who has done most for SM sh”y??
Answer: NCFJE = Chabad Lubavitch, and they have been helping most!
And I know for a fact that shluchim from all over the world have been pouring money into the “Justice for Sholom Fund”. Please tell us # 15: how much money has come in from lubavitchers? I myself am a shliach in another continent and have given what I can to the fund.

Let’s not pour “sour grapes” on Lubavitchers when things are not going well. Let us only do, speak and think positive

Just cant understand

HOw and why is it , that the entire world is standing up, on a regular basis, holding events for the world to see and hear, doing whatevr they can to change/ help this tragic ongoing nightmare. . . and yet. . WE< AT "SO CALLED" CHABAD , ARE JUST STAYING 'SHTUM'??????? Can someone enlighten those of us out hear, those Chabadniks out here, as to why oh why this is happening. .

Its ironic that you would say…”its great they are doing something”…”They” have done more than any of the chabad organizations. I have not seen any Chabad rallys like the litvishe and chassidishe crowd has…Shame on “YOU”

Chabad Media Sites
July 13, 2010 12:25 am

Chabad Public Media Sites it’s time to write some articles, post videos, and publicize the word!!! If you didn’t do it before SMR was sentenced, at least do it NOW!

Let's Make NOISE!!!
July 13, 2010 12:07 am

Chabad. A household word. Who hasn’t heard of Chabad? Chabad’s love, self sacrifice and helping hand is felt across the world. Chabad has put a lot of toil into forming connections with politicians, government officials, and key figures. Chabad has also utilized tools in the media, creating high tech websites, airing TV shows, and writing articles in famous newspapers; all in order to reach our fellow brethren. It has been downright disheartening, not to see the same outpouring of self sacrifice for our very own brother, Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin. It is heart breaking to see the lack of any official… Read more »

Fellow Brothers Wake Up
July 13, 2010 12:04 am

Listen to what he’s saying right now. WE NEED PUBLICITY!!! Lubavs -we have so much power with politicians, media, govt. officials -let’s make use of it! Our brothers life is at stake!!! Stop worrying what your Balebatime will think, and ACT!!!!

Sluchim Need to get involved
July 12, 2010 11:10 pm

we need the politciand throughout the country to put pressure on the Justice dept.
The most effective way to accomplish is through the shluchim.They are very well connected with the politicians.
let us not stand by qeitly while the rest of the Frum community does the job all alone.
Shluchim are one Family.

I'm there right now
July 12, 2010 11:10 pm

Its amazing what’s been put together, I just have one guestion, why can’t Chabad put something like this together!?!?

July 12, 2010 10:11 pm

Let’s really show our support by donating as generously as we possibly can to truly help a Yid in serious trouble – a Yid who was known openly and privately who went way beyond his means to give to others in every way he could to help another yid – either with funds or with kosher meat!!! His legend is worldwide & deeds of chesed speak for itself!- NOW we must help him without reservation for the success of his legal appeal
