1. first!!

2. Is the song not endorsed by Rabbonim or the japan song fund? From this letter it seems that they’re indifferent to the song as long as the monies go to the proper fund.

3. so the money i gave will not go to the cause?

4. Why is it that everyone believes that these boys are not guilty of the charges?

5. these ppl spent time and money on this and look how they get shot down….

6. To Moshe:
   The Torah says, “Btzedek Tishpot Amisecha,” which means that you should judge your friend favorably (Dan lekaf zchus) so long as they are considered your brother (a practicing Jew). So unless you have indesputable proof that they are guilty, you have to believe they are not guilty. I hope this answers your question.

   P.S. This is even without the overwhelming evidence that these boys are not guilty.

7. The askanim involved in the case are killing themselves for the boys. They have no night or day. When everyone is trying to get out of Japan since it is dangerous, they travel there to be present at Closing arguments of Yaakov Yosef. They are speaking with the lawyers, and anything and everything for the boys. The money that goes toward pidyon shevuyim comes from the Orach Chaim Rescue Fund account (japanpidyon.org) and is endorsed by many Rabanim. From this account the lawyers get paid. If you want to be mekayeim pidyon shevuyim, this is the way to do it.

8. Since when does the right to raise money for any cause belong to one person or group?! The Mitzva of Pidyon Shivuyim is a Chiyuv for everyone. I have no reason to suspect anyone of making this production in an attempt to pocket money. R’ Shloime Daskal is a very fine person and an Ehrliche yid. I”m sure their intentions are to raise funds to help the boys that are in jail in Japan.

9. So not right. Fried is a huge tzadik who over FIVE hours in lkwd cheering up cholim.

10. The fact is that the money to pay lawyers is from japanpidyon.org/OCRF/718-354-0030.

11. Why is this different then the music tribute for Rebashkin?

    BTW it was a well done video ( i would of left out the images of the Tsunami)

    May Hashem free these boys soon

12. While many in the orthodox community are aware of the situation with the boys in Japan, the world at large is not.

    The point of the video is build awareness in the larger community and hopefully bring in some money to pay the lawyers from outside the community.

    Reading between the lines it seems the askonim are saying “while we don’t endorse the video, we appreciate the efforts of the sponsors and participants in their efforts to help the boys”.

13. I think something needs to b clarified here!! Is it the Video the problem or the fact that someone else is coming along to raise funds. Editor please clarify!!!!!!

14. I think this video presentation is wonderfull, no question many hard tireless working hours was put in. Shloime Daskal great job!!!!!!!

15. The movie could have hurt the boys.
    There were originally images on their website that the Japanese gov’t does not allow publicized. Having those pictures in the public could have been VERY bad for the boys case and made it much worse and required lawyers to resign.

16. Moshe you need to seek help if you think these boys are guilty. No wonder why Mashiach is not here

17. To MF

    What is the point of your post? Even if what you are saying is true it was obviously unintentionel and is simply loshon hara.

18. To moshe you make my blood and everybody that reads your comment boil
    How could you be so cruel and heartless after evidence from all sides are showing that their not guilty besides if you are a negative mind you don’t have to show it in public

19. To Put Simply says:
    People should not do things that do more harm then good. Lets hope more people don’t get the same idea and try the same.

20. To MF:

    The askonim did not mention your information in the post above and I assume if it was important to mention and they felt the same as you they would have.

21. everyone is well intending, however we should organize our efforts..
