1. I find it interesting that Rubashkin’s visit with the Satmar Rebbe of Williamsburg warranted only one brief clip, while there were numerous pictures posted elsewhere.
   Bias?

   Moderators Response: Like every other Satmar story… another Satmar insecure comment… No silly, we simply weren’t given any photos. Incredible how insecure Satmar gets over such pedi childish babyish immature things in life. Seriously. It’s time to get a grip.

2. Bpkj- seriously??? @ moderator everyone knows yw is anti Satmer you don’t have to keep chewing it! BUT YOUVE GOT TO ADMIT, Satmer got him out ! No two ways about it!

3. wow! wow! what a chillul hashem for these leaders to give so much honor to an obnoxious convicted criminal. Rabashkin was mechallel the sheim hashem birabim and yet he gets all this honor and attention. These gedolim are spitting in the face of every honest hard working person by showing so much kovod to a person who is defiant, unrepentant and who shows no remorse or regret whatsoever for the crimes he has commited. Achdus and chizuk are a pathetic excuse. There was more achdus at the chet haeigal and a lot of good that did us. Rubashkin is the golden calf of this generation. We have no ethics, values, morals or shame whatsoever.

4. Jeff , admin that you have a “beef” with Rubashkin because you are probably a militant vegetarian or a member of apicoros movement called “Open Orthodoxy”. And please enlighten us on what exactly “crimes he has committed” so we will understand you vile hatred towards the man.

5. +1 for Jeff, well said. I feel like i’m in the twilight zone.

6. “He also Davened Shacharis in Boro Park at the Satmar Bais Medrash on 53 Street – where he had Lechayim with hundreds of people.”
   typo – instead should read: where he had hundreds of Lechayims with people

7. @bpkj @a mamin First of all, photos went up today it looks like http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/photos/1438724/photo-essay-sholom-rubashkin-visits-the-satmar-rebbe-of-williamsburg-photos-by-jdn.html

   Second of all, it’s amazing what two year old Satmar are. What’s even more amazing is that the only one who thinks Satmar “got him out” is Mr. balkany, another convicted felon. It seems that Satmar loves and ebraces the words of felons.

   By the way, idiot alert! The Flatbush resident who met with Trump in the Oval Office multiple times about this is not Satmar last I checked. Incredible how ignorant and uneducated in this entire sugya these Satmar fools are. Yay! Satmar got him out.

   Grow up. Serious. Get a grip on life.

8. Ferd:
   Why do you hate Rabbi Balkany so much? Are you jealous?
   You will never reach his toenails in Avodas Hashem.

9. @various posters- Oy vey… And, unfortunately, yet another opportunity for us to express achdus as a Klal is hijacked by the Satan’s tweaking of our “sensitivities”- and there goes the chance to once again be “agudah echas” and bring the geulah.

   I know this is an unpopular view in the “Olam HaCommentators”, but maybe calming the vitriolic rhetoric that is slung about so freely could actually be a major zechus in undoing the unbearable damage caused by the same actions nearly 2000 years ago…. Halevai, halevai!
