Title: How can we repay Jonathan Pollard on the day after?
Post by: edu on August 02, 2015, 01:34:55 AM: Assuming Pollard will be released in the not too distant future as advertised in the media, how can we repay Jonathan Pollard for all the sacrifice and suffering he has endured for the Jewish People. Especially unlike the Shalit family, he has requested that Israel not make dangerous concessions to secure his release, showing how he puts the interests of Jewish people above his own personal interests.
Showing gratitude is a major ethical principle in Judaism. Not only because it encourages others to also act properly but because good actions in their own right need to be recognized and praised.
What is the best way to show our gratitude if A] He is kept back by the USA authorities for another 5 years in the USA outside of jail. B] If he is granted permission to immediately leave for Israel.

A fund to truly help support Jonathan Pollard and other Jewish prisoners ( including in Israel ) that shouldn't have been sent to prison sounds like a terrific idea.

Not going to happen that is not how parole or probation works
He will be basically a free man but for the duration of his parole he can not leave the U.S., nor his state & county of residence.
I asked my cousin who is a retired parole & probation officer he said that is how it works.

Not in Pollard's case Chaim probably had a nice officer but generally they do not allow it.
