Jonathan Pollard on Monday night dedicated a Torah scroll at Joseph's Tomb in Nablus. The scroll was commissioned 12 years ago, while he was in a US federal prison, serving a 35-year prison sentence for espionage.

Pollard traveled to Samaria with his wife Esther and the Head of the Shomron Regional Council Yossi Dagan.
"I feel a very personal connection to this place and to Joseph who is buried here, and everything he went through," said Pollard, who planned to bring the scroll to the site all along.
"When I was in jail, the guards enjoyed humiliating me when they would ask me if I thought I would ever get home. And I always answered in the same way: I would ask, 'Do you believe in God?' And most of them would say 'yes,' and then I would ask, 'Do you think God can work miracles?' And they would say 'clearly.' Well, now we are here."
