Israeli Chief Rabbi David Lau has urged worshippers to pray for the release of Jonathan Pollard in services to be held over the Jewish New Year.
Pollard has been imprisoned in the U.S. where he has served over 27 years of a life sentence.
Rabbi Lau, Israel’s newly elected Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi called on communities to pray to God for “Our brother Jonathan Pollard,” saying that “The time had come for his long awaited release from prison.”
