Yesterday the last of the three “boys of Japan” Yaakov Yosef Greenwald, was released from prison! Because of good behavior the parole judge ruled that for the remaining third of his sentence he will not have to engage in community service, as is customary with prisoners sentenced for a similar offense, but will be allowed to study at a yeshiva.
This is such fantastic news, which finally brings an end to this terrible saga, that it should appear on YWN in a banner!
