MOSCOW - The visa permit of Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt arrived a few days ago. Until then he cynically defined himself as "a Prisoner of Zion." For the past two months he has been in almost solitary confinement in his residence in Jerusalem, unable to return to Russia. Since 1989 he has been considered the chief rabbi of Moscow. However, the government of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin will not allow him to return to his flock.
