A federal judge has denied Sholom Rubashkin‘s request for release on bail before he is sentenced on 86 financial fraud convictions.
U.S. District Judge Linda Reade ruled that Rubashkin, the former vice president at Agriprocessors Inc. poses a flight risk if released from custody.
Rubashkin should remain in jail because of the “powerful incentive to flee” in the wake of his convictions last week, she wrote, as well as his purported efforts to help another indicted manager, Hosam Amara, escape to Israel after a May 2008 immigration raid at the kosher slaughterhouse.
Defense attorneys presented Reade with 1,340 letters from Rubashkin’s supporters, and 43 people who offered the equity in their homes as collateral.
“Nevertheless, the court finds that this evidence does not rise to the ‘clear and convincing’ level necessary to show” that Rubashkin will not flee the country, Reade wrote.
Rubashkin was being held at the Linn County jail this week.
His sentencing date has not been set.

I think we need a more noticeable place to post this…it’s not likely that enough people to cover 30 days’ worth of Tehillim will be reading the comments on the second page of COLlive. We either have to move it to the front page (by commenting on a more recent article) or post our list on some other website that more people see ( meaning like a blog, forum, facebook group, that kind of thing.)
Or, we could just all ask people who we know to take on a day.
~SS
it is the day of the month
add on
This is #13/27/32 again…(my initials are SS so I’ll go by that from now on.)
No I also thought day of the month…which would be a lot easier…I can’t guarantee that I’ll have time to say the whole yom chamishi (of the week) every day.
but we can switch to day of the week
We’ll be covered if we’re doing it by day of the WEEK, but are we? Or are we doing it by day of the month, which is how I originally understood it? (In which case we need more people).
I will do yom zayin everyday…
So Far:
# 9 – yom alef
# 10 – yom beis
# 11- yom gimmel
# 12 -yom Daled
#13 -yom Hay
# 16- yom Vov
# 14- Yom Zayin (thats me)
Anyone else – please add…
Im #10. my friend can do yom aleph (shes used to that one). can #9 please do yom bais, or yom zayin, and will be covered? if so, we can all start.
and beautiful daughters, and grandchildren!!!
a beis din would have had a different opinion than to put a father of so many beautiful souls in jail. to what purpose? if one wants restitution, although I know not why, jail never assists. our justice system as such never will approach that of Hashem
So here’s how we have it so far:
#9- Yom Alef
#10- Yom Bais
#11-Yom Gimmel
#12- Yom Daled
#13 (thats me) Yom Hey
#16- Yom Vov
Anyone Else?

Maybe COLLIVE can arrange the splittign of Tehillim. That way everyone sees what they are part of. You guys are best at arranging that. We can even divide up by Kapitel, eaiser to remember and more ppl involved. With this we should only hear a Yeshua Bekorov.
I already wrote
please
Terrible, horrible!
Well, we have another Yosef HaTzadik; another Alte Rebbe, etc.
I’ll try to say tehillim, B”N
Hisapcha!
His team wi’ll sue the govt. after his upcoming GREAT VICTORY! The American govt. and people will be embarrassed at this travesty of justice!
7 Noahide Laws….N O W !
‘I pledge allegience…one nation, under G-d, with liberty and justice for all?’
One of you do yom beis, and the other do another, im #10
BS:D
To Done ( # 15 ) What do we say that ‘ even if the guillitine is falling Hashem can save.’ Nothing is done until it’s really done and it aint done yet.Lets pray, say Tehillim, give tzedokah etc and think good and it will be good
This is why the 72 charges were dropped, so there would be no upcoming trial, so no need for him to be released on bail, giving him no chance to leave the country.He will stay in jail now until sentencing and then be taken immediatly to a Federal Prison. The testimony of the “Supervisor” from Israel along with the paper trail connecting the two finished any chance of bail.
this is what i think
the reason the govt dropped the immmigration charges last week was to give judge reade an excuse for denying bail.
it doesnt matter either way. hashem should pay back e/o from sm rubashkin to the judges to the prison guards for their actions. Rubashkin for the good and all the rest visa versa or as they deserve.
keep davening!
Simcha poiretz geder!
I can say yom beis
I will say yom beis
ill say yom beis every day this week
i can be responsible for yom bais (split with my friend)
I can say yom aleph (of the month) every day this week
he created a false invoice that the bank knew about. in other words, he said he had less $$ than he had but the bank knew abt it and didnt mind cuz they were getting more $$ for interest. so thats called bank fraud…when people hear that they automatically assume he stole money from the bank which leads to all the ridiculous charges
People! What did Rubashkin do????? Does anyone even know????? Noone is reprsenting this case correctly- maybe if we knew whats going on we could help him get out, not just send Judge Reade the same letter 4 billion times by 5 billion people!
hashem please have mercy on your child SHOLOM MORDECHAI haleivi BEN RIVKAH and release him from all the agony, pleaaase, l’ maylah m’derec hateva, he”s been thru hell already, we all know the truth, he didnt kill anybody, and didnt do anything close to it, he made mistakes in running his busness! making mistakes in running a business does not make him americas bigest criminal, c’mon just common sence from the begining of this case they are constantly trying to demonize him and portray him as the top criminal of the century, everyone in their right mind knows how far… Read more »
hashem yerachem. increase in torah, tefilla , tzedaka. what is Hashem doing?
Why don’t they just put him on house arrest in the meantime, have him wear one of those ankle bracelets that act as a lo jack and his whereabouts are monitored…keeping him like this is not the only solution to keeping him from fleeing
i love him sooooooo much
bye
Does she want to prove to HERSELF that she has power?
On her website: HER ONLY NOTABLE CASE Thus far is:
A) Illegal worker raid case
Judge Reade is presiding in the case of Sholom Rubashkin, a top manager of Agriprocessors, Inc based in Pottsville, Iowa. Rubashkin is facing charges of immigration, bank, and wire fraud after a May 2008 raid was conducted by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Despite his trial is set for October 13, 2009, the judge ruled that Rubashkin can leave Iowa to pray at the grave site of Jewish Orthodox leader in New York despite he is on supervised release
