Wow. Can’t even call this thinly veiled antisemitism. Reminder to Mr Teig: SMR wasn’t serving any time for immigration offenses.
Who cares what that loser says.

Like AJK said, there's good chance if they wouldn't have let hate get in the way, SMR might have been locked up longer.

Chabad just declared Washington as the capital of the US. Beginning the process of moving 770 over to Washington.

They feel once they have a trail and it is decided that is it. I think we all can agree their as been some major abuses to this commute/pardon power. Leaving this case out of it.

Pardongate and Nixon's pardon being amongst the most egregious.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

As someone who only mentioned him in my prayers about once a week, I totally disagree.
We are celebrating that he doesn't have to sit another 20 years, which would have been unjust compared to his crimes.
I don't recall the same celebrations when Pollard was released. Why was that?

Aren’t they by 14-43?

I can keep you posted

And got a sentence longer than other spies. Same situation in terms of getting a sentence longer than it should have been.

What's absolutely mind-boggling to consider is if the judge had not been such a zealot, and sentenced him to, say, 16 years (which would have been both (i) far more consistent with comparable sentences and (ii) not more than the 25 years the prosecutors had asked for!), the outcry would not have been as big, the support to free him not as widespread, and the unity among klal yisroel not as strong.

It was precisely because of the unprecedented 27-year sentence that he's out after "only" eight, and not sitting for double that.

I think there's a relevant lesson here. Not often are people in this world afforded the opportunity to see the maxim of "gam zu letovah" come to vibrant life, that if the hand of God is moving, it is only doing so for the best. 

An analogy that has always struck me is embroidery.  As you may know, the bottom of an embroidered picture is a chaotic, haphazard mess.  However, from the perspective of the creator, everything is in deliberate, beautiful, harmonized order.

Too many times in life we look up, shake our heads, and wonder "How could this happen?" "What did we do to deserve this?"

In those trying times, think of Shalom Rubashkin and the embroidered picture, and know that although it may look ugly from our humanly vantage (from the bottom), that is not so in true reality--from above, this, that, or whatever, is deliberate, beautiful, and for the best.






Well said!

Exactly. And he did it for money.

(Although I was happy when he got freed, it wouldn't be appropriate to celebrate, especially publicly)

But he's a broooother! How can we not rejoice for a brother?? Well, if his Kippah doesn't match ours, maybe then we don't need to rejoice...  :-\

You could have celebrated but then don't ask why does everyone hate us.  :)
