Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz of the Yated Neeman talks to the Lakewood shopper about Rubashkin and his connection to the Lakewood community:
"Nowhere was Reb Shalom Mordechai's plight more keenly felt than here in Lakewood, says Rabbi Pinchos Lipscuhtz. "Thousands of people came to the rallies we made in Lakewood". He got the most chizuk, the most letters, the most connection from Lakewood. It was a beautiful thing to see, he wanted to come to Lakewood the day after he came home to personally thank the community for standing behind him. And while logistically the proposed Thursday night event did not work out, there are plans in the works to have Reb Shalom Mordechai come to Lakewood next week.
When is Rubashkin coming to Lakewood
ReplyDeleteWhat is he coming for?
ReplyDeleteWhen is Jonathan Pollard coming to lakewood?
ReplyDeleteRubashkin will not be coming to Lakewood at the end. Even this week versus last week due to it being against the law for him to leave the state of NY
ReplyDeleteso if you want to see him then go to one of the gathering in NY
speak for yourself I and many others do want Reb Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin to come to Lakewood I am sure Thousands will come to greet and Dance with him in Lakewood when he does come. You can stay home if you want
ReplyDeleteHe can leave NY, but he needs permission.
ReplyDeleteHe's not coming to Lakewood because the askanim here are weasels and they asked a shaila about hosting a party for him.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the basis of the shyla? Care to share?
DeleteWe don't need permission from the askanim just invite him announce it via watsapp and thousands of us will come out to greet him.
ReplyDeleteKnowing Lakewood its probably all politics, ak wants one thing the roshai yeshiva want another thing asskanim want something else and then the vaad gets involved and its all over!! ANOTHER DAY IN LAKEWOOOD
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievable and shows how insecure the leadership us. All from communities in NY had celebrations for Rubashkin no one blinked but in Lakewood they are uncomfortable with their yiddishkeit and busy with an image problem.
ReplyDeleteSame applies to eruvin. Its all politically run. And this is precisely why the chassidim wont put up with the bmg shenanigans.
DeleteVery well said!
DeleteHow sad Lakewood denied an opportunity to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteCan someone please enlighten the rest of us with the real story behind Rubashkin not coming to Lakewood?
ReplyDeleteDid you see the clip of his קבלת פנים in New Square? Amazing! Why should we not have the same opportunity?
The Chasidim in Lakewood should band together and bring in Rubashkin
ReplyDeleteI think its because of the arrests that took place earlier this year for fraud. It looks bad for Lakewood to celebrate a person convicted of fraud
ReplyDeleteThe vaad had no problem publicly shaming innocent people calling them bad apples. Now they go running to ask if they should make something for Rubashkin in Lakewood.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting of them.
who did they ask?
