| Gedolei Yisroel - including the top rabbinic leadership of Agudath Israel, in a statement dated Shvat 5767/January 2007 - have called upon members of the community to contact the White House to respectfully urge President Bush on humanitarian grounds to grant Jonathan Pollard executive clemency. In the waning days of the Bush Administration, a group of responsible askonim have undertaken a national grassroots campaign on Pollard's behalf. Information about the campaign is available at www.freepollardnow.com. We encourage our friends and constituents to participate in this effort.
