  2. Let’s all thank Hashem for freeing our loving brethren.

    May we all be freed from this prison golus we are all in as soon as we all wake up and get together as a loving nation for serious teshuva ASAP

  3. Baruch HaShem.
    His offence was “only money” ; if he would have killed someone or if he would have been a drug dealer thus poisoned hundreds of teens he would have been out by now.

    • Agreed! I think that jails are for people who are a dangerous to society. All other crimes such as money, drugs etc should have monetary consequences (maybe even working for the state/country etc) It helped no one to put him & other offenders behind bars -just ruined his family while we footed the bill…
      (I’m not commenting on this specific case as I’m not familiar with it- just in general…)

  4. Frum people have no Effect on the National elections because NY and NJ are Blue States if you had Tens of Thousands of Frum Yidden living in Pennsylvania and Georgia then Trump could have won plus you would have cheaper Housing and Taxes with a more Wholesome living by living in these states
