Blessings Behind Bars

by Rick Adelman – World Jewish Digest

Bochurim Yisroel Silverstein and Reuven Brody at the entrance to the Davis Correctional Facility in Maryland this past summer as part of Aleph Institute’s Nationwide Summer Prison Visitation Program.

Rachel knew it wouldn’t be easy explaining her husband’s prolonged absence. Since she wasn’t about to tell anyone the truth – that Jacob was serving a seven-month prison sentence – the South Florida woman simply decided to curtail her social interactions.

“I don’t want people to ask me,” she said. “No one knows, except for our parents, close family members and one lady in the community I’m close with.”

Comedy Central, by Way of the Torah

Angela Jimenez – The New York Times

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — As usual, Mendy Pellin wore the traditional black coat and hat of a Hasid and sat on a high stool facing the camera. He read quickly through a page of notes, shook his head vigorously in the way of preparation, and signaled his readiness with a nod to his cameraman, Dovi Trappler. As the camera rolled, Mr. Pellin’s voice dropped to the confident baritone of an overeager news anchor.
