When we stand before G-d this month, we ask Him to judge us favorably. We ask Him to extend blessings to us for our needs. There is no better way to preface this request than by judging others favorably and assisting another in need.
Schluchim who have hosted me in PA, Rosie and Rabbi Aryeh Weinstein, have an uncle, Sholom Rubashkin, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison for a white collar crime. He has a wife and 10 children. Similar offenses were typically given a 1 year sentence.

Here's my request... The White House launched a feature on their website called "We The People" where every person 13 years and older in the U.S. can now petition the White House on important matters. The Rubashkin Petition, now in it's third week, has launched a campaign titled "Fortune 500." The goal is to become the petition with the most signatures gathered in a 30-day span. The petition has gathered close to 35,000 signatures in about 2 weeks' time and needs to gather another 25,000 in the next 2 weeks.
The petition urges President Obama to respond with action to the request of 47 Congressmen and 75 law professors and U.S. Attorneys, including 3 former Deputy Attorneys General -- Philip B. Heymann, Charles B. Renfrew and Larry D. Thompson -- who have, in an unprecedented fashion, asked the Department of Justice to initiate an investigation in what they called "allegations of impropriety and unfairness in the Sholom Rubashkin case."
