This the most surprising, eye-opening interview I've done. Rabbi Mark was a mobster, gangster, con man, gambler, thief, and drunk. At 14 his father died. Within months, he was selling stolen goods for the mob, beginning a twenty-year life of crime that ran the gamut from bar hustles and con games to check-cashing scams. In prison, he played every angle and then some. Mark talks about his checkered past and how while in prison he found the keys to saving his soul by helping others which he does to this day. He is the rabbi at Beit T'Shuvah in Los Angeles, The House of Return, a rehabilitation facility for addicts of all kinds. And has dedicated his life to helping those with substance abuse and other problems. This is an AMAZING story. Release date - 04/03/17
