Rabbi Eliyahu Appeals to Bush To Free Pollard Reported: 06:58 AM - May/16/08
(IsraelNN.com) A letter from ailing former Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu appealing for the release of Jonathan Pollard was hand-delivered to American President George W. Bush at the Knesset Thursday. Pollard is serving a life sentence in jail for passing classified information to Israel. The rabbi wrote the letter before his recent hospitalization and heart surgery. He added, "It is written in Psalms 130:4, 'Forgiveness belongs to you that you may be feared.' Our sages interpret this verse to mean that The Holy One, Blessed be He, forgives, and He is feared all the more so." ![]() Check out the Chill Zone - Funny, Entertaining Videos © IsraelNN Syndications - This article may not be republished freely.
