Under the auspices of the Aleph Institute – a prison rehabilitation organization founded in 1981 – 10 Chabad-Lubavitch rabbinical students visited inmates at Dade Correctional Institution in Florida City, Fla. The program, called "Yeshivah Behind Bars," gave students three nine-hour days to learn Jewish texts, pray and eat meals with 13 inmates. In this photo, Rabbi Sholom Ber Lipskar, director of the Aleph Institute and co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Bal Harbor, gives a lecture to inmates.

I was in prison for 18 months at mdc brooklyn about 3 yrs ago. Whenever we got a visit from chabad boys it always uplifted my soul. I cant thank you enough for those times. They helped me back to my Jewish soul. Please o please dont stop doing this. Lives and souls are saved because of your efforts.
G-d's light There is no pit so deep that G-d's light can't reach it.
