What do the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, zt”l, and the Chabad Chassidic movement have to do with criminal justice reform?  Find out in the latest episode of the JustPod, with our guest, Rabbi Yossi Bryski, the Director of Alternative Sentencing at the Aleph Institute. 

Aleph was founded in 1981 at the Rebbe’s direction, and for over 40 years since, has served individuals of all backgrounds and faiths in prison programs, reentry programs, alternative sentencing programs, and in advocacy, while providing services for the families of inmates, including summer camps for the children of inmates.

Rabbi Bryski and his team work with defense counsel to craft alternative sentencing proposals for offenders.  And as a result of their work, federal and state courts across the country have accepted Aleph’s creative alternative sentencing proposals.  You’re just a click away from stories and experiences that are both heartwarming and inspiring.
