  1. Please continue to daven for the freedom of Sholom Mordechai ben Rivka, b’karov mamosh. Obama is just a pawn in H-shem’s Hand. Our Tefillos can make the difference. Think of his pain and the anguish of his family. Picture the joy when they will be zoche to see him as a free man .

  2. This will confirm to those who had doubts where Obama stands on moral & justice issues. You need not be a student of the law to know Judge Read abused her position multiple times in handing down this gross sentence to R’ Shalom Mordechai. That Obama didn’t pardon or commute his sentence is indefensible. I cant wait till hes gone. B’avod Reshai’im Rinah. And I hope one of Donald’s many Jewish friends can get him to pardon R’ Sholom MOrdechai very soon after he’s in office.
