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.
Spreading the word
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.
“(The inmates) were extremely appreciative, and they thanked us profusely,” Bendet told the newspaper. “(The inmates) are Jewish, they are poeple, every person deserves to have someone to talk to.”
Bendet noted that in the duo’s travels through Wyoming, many Jewish he spoke to had gone a decade or more without speaking to a rabbi.
