My daughter-in-law sent me the news and I am thrilled! For years (in response to a thread on Imamother) I had been saying Tehillim 121 for Mr. Rubashkin. It is amazing that he has been freed! As so many people are saying here, a Chanukah miracle. And I say, G-d bless President Trump, for this and for his advocacy for Yerushalayim as the capital of Israel.

Good to hear from you!
And this helps us remember that Hashem does in fact listen to all our tefillos, even if they're not answered, or answered as soon as we would hope.

I can't stop smiling and tearing up.
This is the most amazing news I've heard in a long long long time.
Thank you hashem for bring him home to his family!

My husband keeps humming different songs and versions "Thank you hashem". Music

He also commented how amazing it is that ALL Jews are so happy for him. How it all brought us together. And the zchus of a Havasu yisroel, we should all merit to hear the shofar shell Moshiach. Now.

Baruch Hashem!

I'm curious to know if anyone knew this was coming, or was this a total surprise for everyone (like it was for me)?

I really hope he realizes that he will have to report to parol officer no matter what or he can go right back. The parol is very serious. Smallest infraction and u go back. I hope he will not get to much and be done quickly.

I just got back from 770 where the celebrations continued unabated. What an electric feeling - everyone pouring out of their houses heading in the same direction, with tears of happiness, to celebrate. Really feels like a historic occasion.

This is historic! Just as Hashem freed Shalom Rubashkin may Hashem free us all from any personal galus and may he free us collectively and bring the geulah sheleima with miracles and joy.

I have tears streaming down my face! imagine last week, he was sitting in prison thinking he had another 18 years of sitting in prison and then finding out last night that he was getting released! Yeshuas Hashem Keheref Ayin! I was always amazed at his unwavering emunah of him and his family!

We just drove by ( when we were there for a chuppah earlier, there was no one there yet) and I thought it seemed kind of tame. I thought the traffic would be at a standstill. Maybe it was inside things were nuts?

What I think is incredible is what a true bipartisan act this was. A lot of politicians on both sides of the aisle actually agreed on this and supported it!
