Convicted spy for Israel Jonathan Pollard on Monday night dedicated a Torah scroll that he brought to Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus.
He commissioned the writing of the Torah scroll 12 years ago, while he was in a U.S. federal prison, serving a 35-year sentence.
“I feel a very personal connection to this place and to Joseph who is buried here, and everything he went through,” said Pollard, who claimed that he had planned to bring the scroll to the site when he was released and came to Israel.
