Letter to Rep. Ackerman from Rabbi Avi Weiss

Letter to Rep. Ackerman from Rabbi Avi Weiss

January 23, 1996

Rep. Gary Ackerman
22343 Rayburn Bldg.
Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Representative Ackerman,

I am deeply distressed that a letter signed by the presidents of the four streams of Judaism on behalf of Jonathan Pollard has been treated so lightly by the White House. A response of "looking forward to hearing from you on other matters" is frankly insulting. I think it's important the White House understand how deeply distressed my community is about this.

I have attached a letter I have sent to Ms. Brophy.

Sincerely,

Rabbi Avi Weiss
National President, AMCHA
