I first hand dealt with aleph for close to 20 years! They helped me get kosher foods in prison even after I was sent to lock up more then once ,they even helped me get chanukah candles ND menorah ..when I got out and my car was stolen aleph put me in contact with a great guy in lakewood nj who actually helped get me a car and just recently helped me open a bussiness so aleph saved my life more then once and I thank them ..
@JJ-kf4kc since I was a child joining the jdl I was always involved in things including the crown heights riots years and years ago...when I was 18 got caught with a gun and that's when my life in prison began so to speak
Wow! This was incredible! Mi kaamcha yisroel! Hashemi should give him strength to continue his amazing work! Meaningful people did it again!
Loved this episode. we need to realize everyone makes mistakes and families should not be punished because of the one who did the crime
@@JJ-kf4kcyes, some people ruined many lives. Predators who abused others repeatedly, for example, didn't "make a mistake". Even those with white collar crimes who ensnared other innocent young people, or people who sent drugs with unknowing victims who were imprisoned too. It more complicated. Sometimes the family wants the guy in jail cuz he's abusing them too (my personal experience)
How amazing, that there are people out there helping our brother fellows sitting in prison, mi keamcha yisroel! Such an inspiration!
Truly amazing! One of your best episodes ever.
Would love to suggest an interview with R' Chaplain Maj Elie Estrin who is the Military liason with Aleph, advocating for Jews in the military all over the world
Thank you for pursuing & presenting this Important & Rare Interview. 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏💙
Thank you for the episode. I am a prison chaplain who supervises a team of non Jewish chaplains. Would love to be a guest on your show some time. Hatzlachah Rabbah
Love this episode!!! The Aleph Institute is doing Hashems Work.
Thank you for spreading awareness. I’m sure this interview will spark conversation.
Outstanding presentation on all of the wonderful, amazing work and accomplishments by ALEPH!!
This episode was incredible!!!
Thank you for sharing and shedding light on such a beautiful organization.
Kol hakavod to you all. Thank you for taking care of our (sometimes unknown) brothers and sisters.
An incredible human being .
Hey love this episode 😊
It gave me a new perspective on how we should not judge people no matter what, and that we should only focus on אהבת ישראל
It saddens me to see how many here feel that a sinner should have no path to redemption. Not everyone in prison are monster’s. Some are broken people that had a failure in judgment. May you never know.
@@JJ-kf4kc Most prisoners are there for crimes that don't involve hurting children. I don't see how any punishment is bad enough for those who hurt children. But people should not be totally rejected for other crimes, where there's no physical harm to anyone.
There are many jewish men incarcerated for hurting children. Ruining others' lives is not only through molestation. I know a guy who sat for a white collar crime, doesn't sound so bad, right? Well, he had ensnared and placed most of the blame on a young innocent 18 year old who worked for him and who sat in prison almost as long as him. It's often a lot more complicated than you think
Awesome episode! 😊😊
I also, as others who commented, enjoyed this episode. This Rav spoke as if he regularly speaks to people who wabt to hear what he does; and he probably does speak a lot about his work - as well he should!
His work is not only a job, but rather a job w עברדת נפש; he puts his heart snd soul into his avoda. His job is one of avodas hakodesh.
Blessings, love and prayers for all, from Israel 🇮🇱.
Amazing!!
What a great episode !!!
I like Momo without glasses too . I like his chance to interject more
Loved this episode, extremely interesting interview
Loved this episode!
Great episode.
Great episode!
great having him on, was very disappointed as he was only able to present a tip - a tiny tip of the iceberg - of the tremendous work that Aleph is accomplishing. I would love to share a fraction of the work they do
Didn't ask him about females in prison or the problem of so called messianic jewish organizations in prison
@user-ro That's true! We should have part 2.
I was in prison myself, not everybody in prison are purely criminals, some do believe in the Bible. I’m former Catholic from Mexican decent, I do believe a lot of work can be done to the people behind bars. Some of this men never been shown cared for by there family, and to hear the Torah and shown that Hashem never left them. A heart of flesh will go a long way, if you want the Messianic age to come, we can not forget our brothers that been in darkness for to long. May Hashem bring our brothers out of there incarceration and be given a heart of flesh, not of stone.
loved this episode
Thank you for this episode
Inspiring episode!!
One of the best episodes great job
RABAY Zvi boyarsky is grate Shalih in Los Angeles I don’t have a words to express!!!!!
😊😊👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Nice- Early On, I recommended 3 of My Rabbis- Inspiring in Different ways. 1 suggestion was Rabbi Sholom Lipskar, of the SHUL of Bal Harbour, FLA. He Created The Aleph Institute, to Assist Jews in the Army & in Prison.
Rabbi Aaron Lipskar needs his own show.
great episode
Hey.
Love this episode.
One of my favorites!
It is stigmatized as a deterrent. It needs to be.
@myopinions46 While you're right that criminal activity should be stigmatized, the stigma is not limited to that. Essentially it comes down to "having a family member who went to prison" (& got caught) stigmatizes the innocent family members too. That part is unfair.
@@Chanie787878 kids have to learn it from somewhere. But I agree it depends on the crime how much of a deterrent is required and if the family needs to feel the pain as well. If someone went to jail for j walking I don't think the family needs to pay for that.
@@myopinions1how many people do you know that are prison for j walking??
loved this episode!
Have you ever interviewed Judge Ruchie Freier? Have you interviewed any Jewish soldiers in the US army?
I think they did interview Judge Freier already
Ad an ex pat Floridian I do remember the beginnings of Alef can I find a way to donate? Plz pass on to Nachi and Momo שבוע טוב
Rabbi Lipskar got me started on my B.T. Journey, in 1985. 🙏🏻
Here you go: aleph-institute.org/wp/donation/
This is great! Does Aleph Institue help female prisoners with learning or anything else? Would love to be involved!
Love this episode and the sweater!
Epic blooper reel!
Hey loved this episode
Advocating for Jews and all in prison
❤❤❤❤
Great video thumbs up
As painful as it is, we really don't know what's behind the scenes, and who we personally know that perhaps should have legal trouble. (Not that I wish it on anyone.) One person who commits a crime may have mitigating circumstances. Another person who commits the same crime doesn't get caught and can continue thinking they're better than the one who got caught. Hashem created such a fascinating human race: we can be terrible in one aspect of life but be the most loving and innocent person otherwise.
There was just a posting stating that a Jewish organization is helping Ghislaine Maxwell. Do you know if that means Aleph? Are there any other organizations could be. Why would they help her? If it's true, can't understand.
How can I touch base with R. Lipskar?
❤
🙏👍
Beis Din punishment is to perish not be jailed. Why are you deleting this fact?
@@JJ-kf4kcit seems like for these criminals they provide only basics like kosher food, tefilin....etc
You deleted my comment i see.
Thank you..
That point of loving g.d and loving His children is the main point... People that did something as horrible as that is because they forgot the image of g.d in them .. we know it is wrong, but we have to have compassion.. how sad that someone gets to that level.. the truth is we all forget that we are made in the image of g.d every once Ina. While some more some less, some do something more punishable, some something less.. but as you have compasión to yourself and excuse yourself and say "is not that bad" understand that even thou what they did is really bad.. they were sick, lost, in pain, so they didn't understand it was that bad. May Hashem heal us all emotionally physically and spiritually
well done
You don't pidyon shevuim a rodef.
Well said
I'm against it because he protects and helps people that harmed everyone.
@myopinions46 - I don't know, but I hope they don't help people totally get out of being punished. He said something like "they don't mess with the courts".
@@Chanie787878 they do because of pidyon shevuim.
@@JJ-kf4kc white collar needs to be punished too for it to be a deterrent. We are to be a light unto the nation.
@@myopinions1he literally said that "certain crimes" they don't try to limit the sentence, they just provide basics like kosher food, tefilin...etc
To love a criminal is to want them to get the highest punishment possible for what they do wrong.
Very painful to read these merciless comments!!
י'הודים הם רחמנים בני רחמנים!
If you want mercy from Hashem, you have to have it on others.
@@user-pj4qr5gt7j there are indeed some crimes that are heinous and hard to have mercy on those pple AT ALL I agree, but for the MOST part it's yidden who have made mistakes. I don't mean accident and I do mean misjudgements (to put it mildly). Like at the time ON PURPOSE but not nec things that can't be done tshuva for.
The Aleaf Institute suppose to help Jewish ppl in trouble.
I dodn't intend to share in public my experience with Leaf's staff but my personal experince with Aleaf was in disppointment.
I wish them concentrate their efforts less with collecting money but rather on focusing on assisting Jews in trouble.
If you want financial assistance, how can they help without collecting money
On a side note; I have come to like those huge eye-glasses...
They get away with enough let them rot
Why only help the Jews though?
He clearly said they dont only help jews. However, jews are a family and you help your family first
One big financial advertisement. Figures... 😂
You're getting free content. If someone is warmed up to the cause, why not take advantage of it for the benefit of their recipients
All 3 of them lol
@@JJ-kf4kcI saw one jew in 6yrs.
@@JJ-kf4kc I was in prison for 6 years and met one jew. He was cool till I found out why he was there.
Don't judge the guy that got caught, maybe you're not such a tzadik yourself 😮
I heard that he stole the rabbis COAT
This is such a terrible organization.
Have u ever been to prison? Have u ever fought because u are a jew? I have many times and aleph helped me stay positive and strong and helped me stay frum even in prison..so when u say things that are negative all I can say is my company's name is lion heart based in Lakewood NJ Co have a conversation with Me I'll change ur mind
@@kingdolo6572 I've never been to jail because I've never done crime. I know enough people that have to know that no one should be getting away with it and special treatment even though I know they do cause pidyon shevuim.
@myopinions46 have u ever made a mistake before??? People make mistakes in life are they bad People??
@JJ-kf4kc let me ask u a question do u think everyone in prison is guilty for their crimes they were accused of? I will never deny my crimes but we all go thru different experiences in life and sometimes people are forced into doing things they shouldn't it doesng mean they don't need help and guidance? G-od forbid someone hurt u or ur family would u let that happen or would u fight to protect them at all cost? What happens if u really hurt that person and u wind up in jail? Is that right? Protecting ur loved ones yet u are in prison trying ur best to keep kosher and stay upbeat the only groups that care are the aleph Institute, ohr bachosech,reaching out and a few other groups I'm sure that I never had the pleasure of dealing with...
There are many innocent people in prison. There are also many who get an unfairly lengthy sentence due to being Jewish. I don't agree with coddling criminals, especially not one that hurt others, but not every prisoner is a monster
Please don’t show this type of content!
Frum people don’t want to be exposed to these types of things.
Especially people with children!
Please show more family friendly content.
This topic Boruch Hashem isn’t for our circles.
It's for people like yourself that this episode is SO important! #EndTheStigma
@@sholom11
It’s not chos vishalom for people like me!
It’s for people like you that don’t care about the type of content that’s appropriate for the frum community!
Get a life!
You "might" have a point.
However, it is unfortunate that the frum community actually "DOES" need to know about this organization.
You don't speak for frum people. The title is clearly enough to deter those wise enough to avoid exposing young children to such realities. However if you're an adult, you have no excuse to ignore the plight of your fellow Jew, no matter how awful they may seem to you.
@borsht321 You just proved one of the main points of this episode. You're closing your eyes to a major issue that DOES affect a few people in the frummest circles. Aleph educates FRUM PEOPLE to realize that they ABSOLUTELY CANNOT commit "minor crimes" because they shouldn't, and because they may go to jail. Frum or not, they should receive the same punishment as anyone else who commits the same crime.
