Convicted spy Jonathan Pollard has been returned to his prison cell following a week of hospitalization. After collapsing in his cell last week, Pollard was rushed to a hospital.

Despite his declining medical condition, once again, pleas for his immediate release, at the very least on humanitarian grounds, fell on deaf ears in the Obama administration. This after he has been imprisoned by the US government for 27 years despite official requests for clemency by the State of Israel and many others, including US legal experts and elected officials.

The tzibur is requested to continue being mispallel for יהונתן בן מלכה בתוך שאר חולי ישראל.
