ment, the Chief Rabbinical Coun-
cil requested that it take part in
any future discussions on the sta-
tus of the Muslim holy sites in
Jerusalem.
The council, which includes
both Ashkenazic and Sephardic
religious leaders, made the re-
quest as a result of a provision in
the declaration in which Israel
recognized Jordan's traditional
role as guardian of the religious

Israel's recognition of Jordan's
role at the holy sites has been the
subject of much criticism from the
Palestinian leadership, which
hopes to establish eastern

Jerusalem (JTA) — Esther Zeitz-
Pollard, the new wife of Jonathan
Pollard, believes that Israeli offi-
cials have not done enough to se-
cure her husband's release from
prison.
Though Jonathan. Pollard, who
is serving a life sentence for giv-
ing classified information to Is-
rael, is technically up for parole
in late 1995, Ms. Zeitz-Pollard
says she is certain that parole will
be denied.
Instead, she is looking to the
Israeli government to demand
the release of her husband, who
is in prison in Buttner, N.C. Dur-
ing a visit to Israel last month,
she met with President Ezer
Weizman and other Israeli offi-
cials to discuss her husband's
case.

However, she said her at-
tempts to meet with Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Rabin proved futile.
He flatly refused to speak to her,
she said during an interview.
Despite the rebuff by Mr. Ra-
bin, she said, she came away
from her other meetings "con-
vinced that Israelis want to help
Jonathan and see justice done."
Sitting in an office borrowed
from a friend, Ms. Zeitz-Pollard
described her efforts to meet with
Israeli decision-makers and jour-
nalists. Hoping to bring her hus-
band's cause to as many Israelis
as possible, she did dozens of in-
terviews, many of them in He-
brew.
Regardless of the interviewer,
her message was the same: The
key to Jonathan Pollard's release
