We were sent Pictures and Video clips from Israel, Monsey, Boro Park, Lakewood, and countless other places from around the world.
It is appropriate to say Mi K'Amcha Yisrael. Thousands and
thousands of people around the world were genuinely happy for this amazing man who no doubt has Chen, something according to the Gemara in Sukkah Hashem grants to
People who do Tzedaka and Ahavat Chessed.

My dear Sisters and Brothers.
In the Mincha Shemonei Esrei of Shabbos we proudly
proclaim;
"Ato Echod V'Shimcho Echod" You (Hashem) are
one and your name is one, "U'Mee K'amcho Yisroel Goy Echod" and who is
like your (Hashems) nation, a united people.
I am taking the liberty to write to you, because what we
saw today is not only an important part of history, but also proof of who we
truly are, a "Goy Echad" a United people, we are all connected, we
are all truly one, as Rav SM Rubashkin shlita proclaimed together with hundreds
or perhaps thousands of Women, Men, teens and children "Shema
Yisroel, Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echod".
Have any of you heard the name "Mark Denny"?
I'm sure most of you have not, let me introduce him, he
is a 46 year old African American man who has been in a NYState prison for the
last 30 years, yes THIRTY years, falsely accused of horrific crimes that he
supposedly didn't do.
Where am I going with this you may ask? So here goes,
today Wednesday, 20 December (just a few hours prior to Rubashkin's release) a
Judge in downtown Brooklyn's Supreme Court, dismissed his case, and he walked
out of the Courthouse, a free man.
Who was there to greet him? Who danced in the streets?
How many people were there? Let me tell you, not even a handful, his mom was
there, his attorney and perhaps one or two more family members.
Just a few hours later, as Rubashkin was being released
in a small town in upstate NY, there were people that never met him from
Bloomingburg, to greet him and sing, and as soon as Jews heard the good news,
Yidden of all ages, in all Jewish communities, all over the Globe from the US
east to west coast, from Europe to Israel and anywhere in between,
from Chasidish to Litvish, to Modern Orthodox, all took to the streets and to
Shuls to dance and to thank Hashem for this great miracle and to partake in
this great Simcha of a man they never met, and perhaps never will meet, a great
number of people aren't even intimately familiar with the "Rubashkin"
case, yet, K'ish Echod - B'lev Echod, like one person, like one heart, we cried
tears of joy, we sang and danced. Why? Because Klal Yisroel, each and
every Jew is interconnected and part of this great puzzle, this great Mosaic
called "Am Yisrael" , we truly showed that we are the "Goy
Echod"
Let us take this Achdus and Simcha to heart, and let this
feeling towards you fellow Yid, carry forward and stay with us, until the true
"Echod" will in this merit send Moshiach to take us the "Goy
Echod" with song and dance, B'Halel V'hodoyu L'hashem Echod,
as am Am Echod, into our Homeland Eretz-Yisroel speedily. Amen.
With blessings, Mi K'amcho Yisroel.
