Yaakov Yosef Grunwald, one of the three boys incarcerated in Japan, is currently in a jail in Chiba, Japan. Following his recent trial, he sits all alone behind bars with practically no visitors allowed
Yaakov Yosef, being a masmid before the incident that led to his being placed in jail, still occupies his times by learning and writing Torah.
He is completely cut off from the world, however, and we are told that letters to him will help him feel connected and that Yidden care and are concerned about his welfare.
Update: We have been asked by askanim to remove the mailing information. Please simply continue davening and saying Tehillim for Yaakov Yosef.

Nebach, Hashem Yirachem Alehem. Write, write and write some more. The chizuk you write will benefit this bochur, and probably more importantly yourself.
Thanks Matzav. Please publish the addresses of the other bochurim. I would also like to send them a letter of support. May Hashem bring them a yeshuah now.
does he read and understand english??
By reading the comments, sometimes I wonder if the people on this site read and understand English.
Just an idea
if thousands of your readers would send letters of support
the japanese govt. would see them in a diffrent light
all schools should make this a ‘Pidyon Shvuim” project and it would be educational too

In real life if if you do a mitzva in someones name the neshama has an ALIYA
But Charlie Brown, being that you live in a fantasy world , you’ll never understand this concept of” Yahadus” until you end up there
Why did askanim say to remove the mailing information? I would like to write.
