Lawrence, KS — For many years, Neil and Leni Salkind had to drive to Johnson County if they wanted to buy meat.

That’s because they follow the Jewish cultural and religious law of kosher — that foods have to be prepared according to certain rules for them to be eaten.

Rawlins, WY — It's a long way from Crown Heights in Brooklyn to the dusty, antelope-dotted hills of Rawlins, yet Shmuly Feldman and his companion, Shmuel Bendet note that at its core, their mission is the same — to spread the word of Judaism to those rooted in the faith, no matter where they are.

The Rawlins Daily Times in its July 24 edition reported the presence of the two rabbis, who stopped by south-central Wyoming to impart the importance of their faith.

The duo visited the Wyoming State Penitentiary to visit incarcerated Jews.
