Open the Gates of Heaven to Our Prayers!
Our brother Jonathan Pollard [Yehonatan ben Malka] has been languishing in an American prison for 18 years now for passing classified information to save Israel from her enemies. Even though Jonathan passed the information only to save Jewish lives, he was thrown out of the Israeli Embassy into the arms of the FBI. Without benefit of trial, he received the longest, harshest sentence in the history of the United States of anyone ever convicted of passing classified information to an ally: life in prison. It is our prayer that Jonathan be freed at once to celebrate all the chagim (holy days) of Israel - including Shavuot - like every other Jew, home in Israel with his wife.
Rally participants include:
His Eminence, HaRav Mordecai Eliyahu, shlita (former Chief Rabbi of Israel and Jonathan's Rav)
HaRav Shlomo Aviner, Rav of Beit-El, and Rosh Yeshiva of Ateret Cohanim
Mrs. Esther Pollard (Jonathan's wife)
Yosef Mendelovitch (former prisoner of Zion)
as well as other rabbis and public officials.
For information call: Eli 054-402-308 or Yaacov 055-684-481
Rally coordinated with Israel security forces.
