Rabbi Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin

Rabbi Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin is a prominent figure within the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic community. He was involved in his family's kosher meatpacking business in Postville, Iowa, which was one of the largest kosher slaughterhouses in the United States. His life took a dramatic turn when he was arrested and subsequently convicted on multiple charges related to financial misconduct. His case garnered significant attention due to concerns over the fairness of his trial and the length of his sentence. Advocates from across the political and religious spectrum campaigned for his sentence to be commuted, which occurred in December 2017.
