The Letter She Read 100 Times in Her Prison Cell A young Jewish woman imprisoned in Slovakia told Aleph she read every letter they sent 100 times. That’s what knowing you’re not forgotten can mean behind bars. Now, Aleph is urgently working to free a Jew imprisoned in Western Asia for 7 months over prescribed medication. He faces 8 years — but BEH, a government fine can secure his release. BH, they’re almost at the finish line. And he’s only one of many. Around the world, Aleph provides kosher food, Yom Tov supplies, visits and advocacy to Jews in prison.
