English Translation of Rav Eliyahu's remarks:

"This week, we read in the weekly Torah portion about the actions taken by
Avraham Avinu to save a captive, to save Lot who had gone to Sodom. He went
to Sodom and he was undeserving (of rescue); yet Avraham Avinu spared no
effort to save him.

"There is a Jew - a very dear Jew - who did so much for the Nation of Israel
all over the world and who did so much for the Land of Israel, to save us
from some very harsh things --the worst that could happen!

"This Jew is named Jonathan Pollard.

His wife, Esther, has worked endlessly to try to get him out from where he
is held in prison. I myself have appealed to several Presidents of the
United States: to Regan, to Bush, to Bush's father, to Cardinal Law and to a
host of others. To whomever I could turn, I have appealed to them, asking
that they act to take him out of there and bring him here to The Land.

"And I told them - also told them here in The Land - if they what they are
afraid of is that he will talk, then I will be his guarantor that he will
not say a word. He won't say anything. On the contrary! He will praise
everyone; he will praise the presidents.

In any case, what we want is this: He is our brother! He must come home to
the Land of Israel - and at once!"
