Reuven (Bob) Manning is a Vietnam veteran, Jewish Israeli Patriot, one of the founders of the Jewish Defense League, fighter for Soviet Jews in 1970s. Reuven helped establish outposts in Judea, former resident of Kiryat Arba, fighter for Jewish rights and against arab terrorism. Reuven was extradited to US from Israel in 1980s & is in federal jail in California. It is doubtful whether he is guilty of crimes he is accused of, but being a Jewish Patriot added to his sentence & hardships Reuven is facing. His wife, Rachel, was brutally tortured and died in Israeli jail. One can imagine what Reuven had to go through.
Now in his 60s, Reuven denied kosher food and matzah for Passover.
Oppressive regime that rules this country, tortures Reuven. Tomorrow, it can be any one of us.
Help Reuven & help yourself!
Dear friends,
I am sending this to people who i think know of the great travesty of justice concerning Bob Manning and concerning his wife Rachel of blessed memory who died in an Israeli prison.
Bob is currently sitting out his term in California and is currently fighting to make kosher arrangements for Passover, something that was promised him and Israeli officials on his behalf before and after he was extradited by Israel to the U.S. prison authorities.
Please take a few minutes to write a letter to the Prison authorities there and send a copy of that letter to Robert Manning at the address below. Please ask for religious rights for Robert Manning to be be honored, especially concerning special Kosher proivisions and the ability to have seperate utencils for Passover and a special area and cooking facility as well as a special and seperate area to eat it. See his correspondence below and put together a letter to them as well as one to Bob including the letter you have sent to the authorities.
In the merit of this small gesture for a Jewish prisoner, may we be zoche to see all of the Jewish political prisoners sent back alive and well to Israel with Ruvein Manning and Jonathan Pollard NOW! Email me a copy of the letter as well if you can, but please move on this to send now a letter to the authorities in U.S. and to Bob...Thanks and Tizku LMitzvot...
The following from Robert Manning:
I am requesting help on this in the form of letters to Warden Ives, 3901 Klein Blvd. Lompoc CA. 93436 The most important issue is Passover. We need a kosher for Passover room free of Levin with a kosher Microwave during chol ha moid, and a warmer for use the first and last two days.
Please send me a copy at same address.

Dear Rabbi,
I want to inform you of a meeting we had with the contract Rabbi, and Chaplain Williams. She stated that she will not let us purchase by SPO Mishloach Minot nor will she take advantage of Alephs offer to send it at any price. She also said that she will keep a "kosher for Passover in the "common fair room" where they have bread, during Passover and we can pick up our food in the non kosher dining room. The Rabbi stated that that is not satisfactory and she ignored him and said she dose not have a room available in this institution as they had when I was here in from 1995 - 2001. Also at every institution I have ever been in. I am requesting help on this in the form of letters to Warden Ives, 3901 Klein Blvd. Lompoc CA. 93436 The most important issue is Passover.

Please send me a copy at same address.
Rabbi Spritzer, can you please call Farther Grabein, at the Region?
Thank you all

To whom it may concern,
Something happened here yesterday 2/7/13 at about 11:30AM. I was helping inmate Jackson pack up his property. (He was being shipped out abruptly, without any warning. Which is not normal. Not to mention that his case manager had just told him last week that she had not done anything and would keep him here, and at best it takes a month to have an inmate designated and shipped. It's my guess that he has not been designated at all.) When out of nowhere a female AW came running in yelling "Jackson get your property and get to R&D and to pack out now!" she repeated this a few times in different orders. Jackson had been trying to make sure that the Jewish inmates would get what they need for Passover. Chaplain Williams was fighting him. He only spoke to her once in front of officer Garret about this and he was very polite, but she was adamant about not giving us a room and microwave where we could eat and heat our food. So he went to AW Lothrop who was trying to help him. What was more unreal is that behind the AW was the other two AW's and the Warden, all looking a bit surprised.
I am now afraid to ever speak to Chaplain Williams. I am close to my family here and do not want to jeopardize that. I am not sure what to do. I will speak to AW Lothrop who seems to want to do the right thing, about being able to purchase all the religious items I need. So I do not have to deal with Chaplain Williams. I am asking everyone to contact the National and Regional office of the Bureau of Prisons. Ask them to investigate this matter. They should see if inmate Jackson is designated or not. If not then why is he being shipped? Is this what they call diesel therapy? Someone should interview the Chapel Specialist Mr. Garret, and the Contract Rabbi who were there the only two times he spoke with her. I was there when the Rabbi was there. Someone needs speak with AW Lothrop and Jackson's case Manager, Mrs. Carlon. Also call the Warden. Something must be done, and we in here are powerless. Even more so when our right to take our concerns to the AW's are met with what is happening to inmate Jackson, I am unsure of what would happen to me in the event I bring an issue up that is inconsistent what Chaplain Williams prefers. Which by the way is not consistent with what the Israeli government was promised and as was agreed to by Mr. George Proctor and K. Harris of the State Department. The BOP, through Assistant Director, programs, Peter Carlson, equally gave a declaration to comply with this agreement.
In the past, Chaplain Williams had said she did not have to go along with anything other chaplains from this or other institutions did, nor does she have to comply with any agreements as declared.
Please help me.
