Another terrifying morning in jail begins as Yehuda Schoenfeld sits nervously in the corner of his cell. The other prisoners call out in their native Russian:
“Hey, Jew boy! What did you steal to get here?”
“You think you’re the chosen people, huh? Who’s chosen now?”
“Better watch out Jew, we’re gonna kill you.”
Yehuda buries his head in his hands, and prays.

It has been a terrifying 3 weeks since police came and arrested the father of 4, shocking him and his family. At first, there was only confusion. They assumed he would be home soon, if somewhat shaken up. Once the details were revealed, however, that Yehuda’s identity had been probably stolen and used for tax fraud, they experienced sheer terror.
Schoenfeld’s lawyers say that "due to his innocence, with the payment of heavy fees, he could be easily freed". As a simple Israeli family, the Schoenfelds can’t come even close to affording the $200,000 necessary to save him.
And so, Yehuda waits in his jail cell, praying for a miracle.
Donations are being urgently collected to help release Yehuda Schoenfeld from prison. His family says that every moment he spends inside, surrounded by Jew-hating criminals, is a danger to his life.
