Ever since Rosa Hindy Weiss‘s heartfelt appeal several days ago, many potential donors reported difficulty donating to the fund.
Established by the NCFJE – National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education, the Pidyon Shevuyim Fund is to help with legal fees of R’ Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin of Postville, Iowa.
Since his daughter’s video message posted on COLlive.com and other Jewish sites, nearly $50,000 has come into the Pidyon Shevuyim account.
This does not include donations made via mail.
But more many reported receiving error messages from the Google Checkout online donation form.
“Apparently, this is because of the unusually high volume of donations that have come in over these past few days,” COLlive was told.
“The Rubashkin family and the vaad of Pidyon Shevuyim have expressed their deep appreciation to the overwhelming show of support and have asked that anyone having difficulty donating to please be patient and try again.”

If all who benefitted from the Rubashkins kindness would donate,even $1 each, there would be much more then
$500,000.As one suchbeneficiary I encourage all to Thank the Rubashkin family by donating as much as you possibly can,and then some,They truly desreve our kindness now.

#8 – put yourself in SM’s shoes – if all of us would say that jail is guaranteed. No need for you to give – Hashem has other sources only you will lose – especially if you are c”v targeted next. & hey – if u have sick feelings – no need to share them! Most of us love the Rubashkins, love Sholom Mordechai & his special wife Leah & their children & love a fellow yid & chossid – let’s all daven & celebrate their didan natzach VERY SOON!!!!!!
If you dont give the $1000 now he will for sure loose. the attorneys dont work with pledges.
This is the time for all of us to stand up & save this honorable family. Give NOW! We all have something to give. Lets get our priorities in order.
Zeit alle gebentshed.
so do smaller amounts a couple of times.
I just tried for a second time and got the error message. maybe it has to do with the amount.
Your sentiment is nice, but the time is *now* not later.
