by Moshe Burt
In reflecting on Shavu’ot and the story of Ruth, I am struck by the similarity between Ruth’s cleaving to Naomi and to Jewishness, and Jonathan Pollard’s actions on behalf of Israel and B’nai Yisrael — putting his life on the line, the price — come what may, for the survival of the Jewish […]

by Moshe Burt

A Prayer on Hoshana Rabbah for Jonathan Pollard

October 8th, 2009

We learn that on Hoshana Rabbah, Hashem’s decrees upon all individuals, upon the Jewish people, and indeed on everyone in the entire world are finalized, as Rabbi Artscroll puts it, ‘delivered’ (Succot Machzor, page 645). Many Kehillot stay up all of Hoshana Rabbah night praying, saying Tehillim, learning in hopes that the finalized, ‘delivered’ decree […]

September 4th, 2009

Commentary:
The months of pre-publicity regarding Israel State Comptroller Lindenstrauss’s investigation and report regarding what the government of Israel did or did not do on behalf of Jonathan Pollard were not promising and the accounts of the investigation report bear out the previous impressions.

Shavu’ot 5769: All-Night Learning and Jonathan Pollard

May 27th, 2009

.
by Moshe Burt

The concept of promoting learning all night on Shavu’ot L’Zechut Jonathan Pollard came about as an enlargement of this author’s concept of devoting one Thursday night Mishmar per month L’Zechut Jonathan, and out of a recognition that the long-established policy of current and successive previous Israeli governments of forsaking Jonathan is impervious to […]

March 27th, 2009

.
NOT!

Commentary;
