Global Jewish Community Unites to Support Detained WSJ Reporter on Rosh Hashana

Jewish communities around the world are sending New Year's well-wishes to Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been imprisoned in Russia since March on espionage charges he denies. Over 2,200 letters from 21 countries have been submitted to an umbrella organization representing Jewish communities in the U.S. and Canada, expressing solidarity and support for Gershkovich. Efforts to secure his release are ongoing, with the U.S. working towards a prisoner exchange and his family appealing to world leaders at the upcoming U.N. General Assembly meetings.
