Sholom Rubashkin’s sentence remains outrageously harsh

I have previously blogged about this issue here.

The latest appeal failed. However, there would appear to be a “people’s” based approach which may influence the American administration to review the case. Technically, one needs to be an American. I used my google mail address to register (rather than an email address which ends in “.au” and then sign the petition. It’s a tad irregular given that one ought to be an American, however, I’m prepared, even in Ellul, to be found guilty of the עבירה of parading as an American. God only knows it will be nothing compared to the big ones he will judge me on.

Accordingly, I would have no hesitation in asking each and every one of you to please do likewise by clicking here, after which it would also be great if you could pass this onto others by simply clicking one of the options near Share this: attached to the end of this blog post.

Whatever he did, he did, but the punishment meted out is just way over the top.

I've enjoyed being a computer science professor in Melbourne, Australia, as well as band leader/singer for the Schnapps Band over many years. My high schooling was in Chabad and I continued at Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh in Israel and later in life at Machon L'Hora'ah, Yeshivas Halichos Olam.
