Bring Ronnie home!

Emergency: As you may have heard, Ronnie, my 22 year old brother who is a Jewish Bucharian American citizen, was arrested Tuesday morning and is currently being detained in a foreign country that strongly disagrees with American and Israeli politics . This country has very strict laws and harsh penalties that Ronnie and many citizens globally are unaware of. What is legal in the USA is strongly forbidden there. This is a very scary situation, he is looking at serious jail time.

Before Ronnie’s trip even started it already became a living nightmare. He is scared and alone, does not know anyone there, and does not know the language. We cannot imagine how scared and vulnerable he is in this prison 20+ hours away from everything and everyone he knows.

We are raising $150,000 to start paying the lawyer that is on Ronnie’s case over there. Back at home Ronnie lives with his parents who are both senior citizens and do not have these kinds of funds available.

We are begging the community and the rest of the world to PLEASE open your hearts and help us bring Ronnie HOME!!!

This statement is backed by Rabbi Yitzhak Yoshua and Rabbi Rafael Zavulunov, who are currently assisting the family with this urgent matter.

We thank all of you for supporting us through these very difficult times. May we all receive good news. We will keep updating as much as possible.

THANK YOU!
