IsraelNN TV joined 87-year-old Seiryu Kiriyama, President of Agon Shu, at a dedication ceremony of the wheelchairs at the Yad Sarah headquarters in Jerusalem. Jerusalem Mayor and Yad Sarah founder – Uri Lopolianski greeted the visitors. Uri Lopolianski needed a interpreter to communicate with the generous guests – but he made sure to end his speech with a goodbye in Japanese - “Sayonara”.

How can Rabbi Lupoliansky accept such a donation when three chareidi bochrim are sitting in Japan's jails when Japan knows they are not guilty of drug smuggling?

Very simple, by accepting such a donation, he is one step closer in negotiating their return. Say a kopitel Thillim and we'll be another step closer.
