More Anti-Semitism

An innocent rabbi is asked to carry a 'Mercy package' of clothes, and is arrested for smuggling drugs. A Haredi man asks Rabbi Simcha Ashlag, and his personal assistant to bring clothes to US for needy family. Both arrested in France after customs officials found drugs in luggage.

Special Smuggling Suitcases

Hasidic leader Rabbi Simcha Ashlag will return this weekend to the partial detention he and his personal assistant received in February, in which the two are forbidden to leave Paris. The reason: 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of drugs found in their suitcases.
 

The Rabbi Was Fooled

A man approach him and gave him four suitcases as he left Israel, and told him they were clothes for a Jewish family.

A French Judge Lets The Rabbi Go

A fellow Jew, who was the French judge allowed the two to leave Paris for a limited period of time so that they can celebrate the holidays with Ashlag’s thousands of Hassidic followers at his hatzer (court) in Bnei Brak.
 

Some Pressure On The Judge?

“This apparently proves that the judge is starting to believe that the Hassidic leader and his assistant were led astray and that someone took advantage of their kind-heartedness.

The attorney says "France can't afford an expensive trial". Hopefully Sarkozy will whisper in the Judge's ear.
