Regarding myself, I am probably a more authentic Ponovezher than many (not the Yeshiva, the town ;)).

Regarding the rest of world Jewry, why would anyone say so? What Ponovezher הנהגות or תורות are becoming more widespread, adapted, or accepted amongst Jews from all backgrounds?

Rabbi Balkany noted that organizers of the annual Kinus Hashluchim, for the first couple of years, refused repeated requests to have Tehillim said for Rubashkin’s plight at the mega-event which draws thousands of Lubavitcher chasidim from all over the world every year.


I'm surprised with Chabad.  Any of you guys want to defend them?

So Satmar worked harder then Chabad worked for him?
Sorry, but I'm going with Dershowitz' story over his.

Hamodia: "Can you discuss a little who were some of the people that you were most involved with in this effort?"

Dershowitz: "Sure. Most important was Rabbi Zvi Boyarsky, the head of the Aleph Institute; he organized a great many things."

People like Dershowitz, Boyarsky, and Kushner actually worked behind the scenes to make it happen. Even if they don't feel the need to gloat about it to the world and spread nasty L"H about others. For shame.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

You are obviously nogeah badavar - some family ties. But I just feel that you're right on this one. I don't know what it is, but Balkany just sounded to me like he has a certain agenda. Some of what might have made it come across like that, was use of terms such as Chabad, Satmar etc. Rather than specific individuals, or even saying "the Satmar Community" etc.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Wouldn't a brother-in-law know the best who helped on a day to day basis?

One thing we can all agree on, is SHAME ON SCHUMER.

Fits with the Chabad MO for political advocacy, which is to focus on behind the scenes pressure.

He might, and he might not. And if he has an agenda, that might trump any actual facts.

Not doubting it for a second.

But if the question is "who had the greatest impact in getting the commutation?" the answer to that might be different.

Sorry, but it was Satmar people (not the kehilla) that started his campaign, Satmar people from Monsey & KJ. They started out with the fundraising campaign and the first petetion to WH.gov. it was from the very first petitions if not the very first

BP had the first campaign night, followed in KJ right after Lag Boomer. (I recall by the LB fire in KJ before it started there was an announcement that there will be a dinner for SMR. They don't usually announce such things)
