According to an Associated Press report, Agriprocessors is being sold to Hershey Friedman, president of Polystar Packaging.
The following are excerpts of the AP report:
The president of a Canadian plastics plant and two partners have agreed to buy Agriprocessors, pending a bankruptcy hearing.
The move confirmed by bankruptcy trustee Joe Sarachek ends months of uncertainty for the Agriprocessors Inc. plant and the town of Postville.
Sarachek says Hershey Friedman, president of Montreal-based Polystar Packaging, and two partners bought out the slaughterhouse’s outstanding credit.
The lines of credit were valued at $21 million, but Sarachek says the group paid “significantly less.”
Sarachek says the men bought the slaughterhouse under the name SHF Industries, a company formed in Iowa on May 6.

Iy”h We’ll have cheaper meat now
Stop eating meat. You’ll save even more. There’s no chiyuv to support Rubashkin.
locknload, how could you talk like that? The man is a tzaddik! He didn’t do anything more wrong that others do. What type of house help do you have? Who works at the grocery that you buy at?
PUT THAT ALL ASIDE, he’s a Yid in trouble! We are his brothers, as you surely said on Shabbos at Rosh Chodesh bentchin.
Also, his intention was to bring kosher meat and poultry t every corner of the US so that all can buy kosher. It was the conservative hecsher that he refused to take when they pushed themselves onto him – they wanted him to carry their hecher, he refused, so they went after his head! By not supporting him, you are lending legitimacy to the conservatives!
Think about it!
2, even if you didnt buy rubashkin’s product (btw smarty pants, good luck figuring out which labels are from rubashkin!), the overall price should drop. Supply & demand.
עכשיו יהי’ בשר
מהדורת הערשי ורייזי פריעדמאן
There’s a restaurant in Boro Park on 13th Avenue near 49th Street called Crown. For the past maybe 45 years anybody who walks in and asks Mrs. Rubashkin for a meal and says I can’t pay, is directed to the kitchen to make their order. They can have anything they want, a full hot meal, including rib steak if that’s what they want, for FREE. By the way, the mitzva of pidyon shevuim is even if you know clearly that the Yid is guilty. A Yid in a goyish jail must be helped.
“He didn’t do anything more wrong that others do.” Is that what Jews strive for nowadays? No longer to be a light unto the nations, just to be mediocre?
(not that I have a problem buying Rubashkin meat, but that statement is awful)
