Prison. A place most of us can’t fathom. Unless we have a loved one who is incarcerated, most of us don’t care too much for those who are in jail or prison. Sadly, inmates aren’t seen as human beings deserving of counseling, spirituality and connection. Since arriving in Montana eighteen years ago I have been providing clerical services for those serving time. Yet, my prison chaplaincy didn’t come about in a vacuum; it’s the direct result of one devout soldier in the Rebbe’s army, who internalized the Rebbe’s love for humanity, and, in addition to revolutionizing Jewish life in South Florida, founded the Aleph Institute to serve men and women who are in a place called prison.
