Help a Young Jewish Man Facing Prison
A young Jewish man with no family or support system is sadly facing deportation to a dangerous foreign country. Please help save a Yid by doing the Mitzvah of Pidyon Shvuyim.
by COLlive Editor · COLliveDear Brothers and Sisters,
As we all are in the midst of the high holiday preparations, I am taking the time to write with a sense of great urgency as it relates to the saving of a young Jewish life.
A young Jewish man with no family or support system, is sadly facing deportation to a dangerous foreign country from where he originates, where if he is sent back he will receive a 10-15 years in prison in relation to a small financial case from many years ago for which he had no involvement! I have personally gotten to know this Yid well and have visited him many times in prison, there is no way I can imagine that he is guilty of fraud for which he is accused of. If he is sent back, I worry very much that he will not survive the ordeal.
This is the first time that I have made such an appeal for help, as I have no other way of helping this poor Yid.
With the help of a top local lawyer, we hope and believe BeH that this can be avoided. As mentioned, this Yid has no family, and we have been doing all we can to help him. We are in daily contact with him, and he is begging for help asap!
At least 15,000 Euro is needed right away so that we can hire one of the best lawyers in the country whom we believe has the best chance of saving this Yid.
I urge everyone to donate as much as they can for this urgent Pidyon Shvuyim case.
I believe with all my heart this to be a most worthy and just cause of Pidyon Shvuyim.
May all of Klal Yisrael be blessed with a K’siva V’chasima Tova. A healthy and happy sweet new year for all Klal Yisrael.

In the message notes please mention “Pidyon Shvuyim”
Sincerely,
Rabbi Ari EdelKopf
