    A Tisha B'Av Conversation on Prison, Hope & Faith | Rabbi Mendy Katz | Aleph Institute

    What does hope look like when someone feels forgotten?* In this powerful LivingYosh interview, I sit down with Rabbi Mendy Katz, Director of Prison Outreach at the Aleph Institute, to discuss faith, second chances, prison ministry, the criminal justice system, and the power of never giving up on another human being. This conversation is deeply personal. While I was incarcerated, Rabbi Katz visited me and brought me my own tefillin, siddur, Tehillim, and kippah—a moment I'll never forget. We talk about what those moments mean for prisoners, how faith can transform lives behind bars, and why no one should ever be forgotten. We also discuss: * The mission of the Aleph Institute * The Lubavitcher Rebbe's vision for justice and compassion * Hope inside prison walls * Jewish inmates and religious rights * Teshuvah (repentance) and second chances * What prisoners should pray for * How families are affected by incarceration * Finding Hashem in life's darkest moments If this interview inspires you, please LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE to help us reach more people with stories of faith, resilience, and hope. ⬇️ Follow LivingYosh 🌐 Website: https://livingyosh.com ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@LivingYosh 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/livingyosh 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/livingyosh 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@livingyosh 💼 LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/joshuamarkell 💬 Join the conversation on LivingYosh and be inspired by stories that strengthen faith, purpose, and community. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Learn More About the Aleph Institute** 🌐 Website: https://aleph-institute.org 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AlephInstitute 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alephinstitute ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlephInstitute 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/alephinstitute If you know someone impacted by incarceration, military service, or a family navigating these challenges, the Aleph Institute provides vital support, advocacy, and hope.
