Dear Friends,
A few upcoming activities and announcements on the postponement of Nadia’s trial, a film on "Qassams", a rally for Jonathan Pollard at the Kotel on Tuesday and how to help Tsafrir Ronen’s family.
May Hashem protect our soldiers who entered Gaza and our brothers in the South.

1) Update on the trial against Nadia Matar
The trial against Nadia Matar, accused of "insulting a public official" because of her letter to Yonatan Bassi, was postponed due to the fact that the prosecutor has been called for reserve duty. Nadia’s attorney, Yoram Sheftel pointed out the irony of the situation by saying;
"Let it be written in the protocol that Attorney Padan has been called up for the reserves as a direct result of the fact that his place of work, the Supreme Court, described the expulsion from Gush Katif, against which my client was protesting and for which she now stands trial, as something positive that will improve the security situation of Israel when today we know that it is that expulsion that brought upon us katyushas in Beersheva, Asdod and Yavne. That is why Attorney Padan has been called up for reserves and my client is sitting on the bench of the accused. Obviously I agree, we must postpone the trial."
The trial has been postponed to Thursday February 19, 2009.

2) This Sunday, January 4th, join thousands of people worldwide in watching QASSAM, the powerful movie about people in Sderot, and share in their experiences over the past 8 years!
Click here to see the trailer for Qassam: http://wejew.com/media/3290/The_Qassam_Movie_Long_Trailer/
The world today is mostly focused on criticizing Israel for it’s attack on the terrorist forces in Gaza. Instead of criticizing Israel, the world should be asking what took Israel so long to respond to the 8 years of rocket attacks on its civilian population! Now is the time for us to show as much support and understanding for Israel as possible.

3) Prayer Rally for Pollard at the Kotel, Tuesday, January 6, 2008, 3 PM
Hebrew date: 10th of Tevet (Fast of Asarah B’Tevet)
Justice4JPnews – January 1, 2009
The public is urged to attend a prayer rally to save the life of Jonathan Pollard. At the same time we will also pray for the speedy return of all of our captives and MIAs and for the safety of our soldiers now on active duty defending the Land. Acting at the urging of such illustrious rabbis as HaRav Mordechai Eliyahu, HaRav Ovadia Yosef, the Chief Rabbis Amar and Metzger and others, the Committee to Bring Jonathan Pollard Home is organizing a prayer rally at the Kotel during the fast of Asarah B’Tevet. Rabbi Asher Mivtzari is coordinating efforts on behalf of the Committee. He can be contacted at freepollard@gmail.com
Nissan GanOr, chairman of the Committee states that this is a time of grace in the United States. As President Bush winds down his term in office, this is traditionally a time for the President to extend clemency to prisoners. GanOr urges everyone come to the rally and storm the gates of Heaven, to bring the blessing down to earth and open the prison gates for Jonathan in time to save his life and bring him home to Israel.
Your voice in prayer is desperately needed. Please be there! Here are the details again. Hebrew flyer can be accessed below.
EVENT: Prayer Rally for Pollard
PLACE: The Kotel (the Western Wall)
DATE: 6 January 2009 / 10 Tevet 5769
TIME: 3 PM
CONVENOR: The Committee to Bring Jonathan Pollard Home
