Lubavitch Rabbi
Is Charged
Minneapolis (JTA) — A
Lubavitch rabbi in
Rochester, Minn., has been
indicted on charges of extor-
ting money from a prisoner
in exchange for rabbinic ser-
vices.
Rabbi David Greene
allegedly extorted $50,000 to
grant a Jewish divorce to
Samuel Dagan, an Israeli
serving time in the
Rochester Federal Medical
Center.
As director of Chabad-
Lubavitch Rochester, Rabbi
Greene makes twice-
monthly visits to Jewish in-
mates, a service for which
the Federal Bureau of
Prisons pays him a nominal
sum, $1,100 per year.
Rabbi Greene's lawyer,
Jerry Strauss, said recently
that his client has pleaded
not guilty to all charges, and
that trial has been set for
Oct. 25.
In the meantime Mr.
Strauss has filed pretrial
motions for dismissal of the
case, on the grounds that the
federal government is
interfering with Rabbi
Greene's First Amendment
right to practice his religion.
"Giving charity is a fun-
damental precept of
Judaism, so it was in the
bounds of his work as a rabbi
to take tzedakah from peo-
ple," Mr. Strauss explained.
"Our contention is that the
offer to give money for assis-
tance in the divorce came
from the prisoner.
"Once he made the offer to
make a charitable contribu-
tion, my client had an
obligation" not only to ac-
cept, but to "make the most
of the offer," said Mr.
Strauss.
If convicted on all charges,
Rabbi Greene could face a
maximum of 21 years in
prison as well as up to
$625,000 in fines.
Despite the charges
against Rabbi Greene, he
still enjoys the backing of
Chabad officials.
