Pollards Are Getting
Religion In Prison
Special to The Jewish News
C
onvicted spy, Jona-
than Jay Pollard, and
his wife, Anne Hen-
derson-Pollard, are apparent-
ly using their time in prison
to become observant Jews, ac-
cording to Chabad rabbis in-
volved in their Judaic
training.
In a telephone interview,
Rabbi Sholom Bear Lipskar,
director of the Aleph Institute
in Miami Beach, Fla., said
that both Pollards are par-
ticipating in a Torah cor-
respondence course run by his
organization, and are "adding
in their performance of mitz-
vot," or commandments.
They're using their time to
elevate themselves in the
knowledge of Jewish sources,"
the Chabad rabbi remarked.
"They feel they have a very
powerful commitment to
Jewishness and to Jews."
Lipskar, who visited Anne
Henderson-Pollard once at
the Federal Correctional In-
stitute of Lexington, Ky., and
who regularly corresponds
with her, said he did not know
if Jonathan Pollard is laying
tefillin or wearing ritual
fringes, but he said he did
know that "Anne has started
to light Shabbos candles
again. It seems, from our con-
versation, that she hadn't
done it for a while . . . She
maintains a kosher diet, and
he does, too."
Another member of the
Aleph Institute staff, he said,
corresponds with Jonathan
Jay Pollard, who is serving a
life sentence in a Springfield
Mo., penitentiary.
Asked if either Pollard has
expressed repentence for
their involvement in the spy
case, Lipskar replied, "We
don't deal with that issue. We
deal with their spiritual
development."
He also warned Jews "not
to become judgmental."
Calling prison "one of the
most debilitating and restric-
ting environments one can
imagine," he said,-- `-We have
to allow people in these en-
vironments to find some
meaning in their lives."
Rabbi Sholom Ber Kalman-
son, director of Chabad House
of Cincinnati and part-time
chaplain at Anne Henderson-
Pollard's prison, would not
discuss either of the famous
inmates, citing "restrictions
by Washingtion."
He did, however, describe
the facility's Jewish com-

munity, of which Anne
Henderson-Pollard is an ac-
tive member, even serving on
a six-member board.
With almost 100 Jewish in-
mates, the Lexington prison
has the largest Jewish prison
population in the federal
system. He described its
Jewish population as
"lawyers, judges, CPAs —
high class people."
The response to his
Judaism classes, kosher kit-
chen and other Jewish ac-
tivities "is fantastic," he
reported, estimating that "80
to 85 percent of the Jewish in-
mates are coming to classes,
putting on tefillin every day,
davening, praying at Shab-
bos, even having classes when
I'm not there.
