Personal Details

Bio

I am the first Rabbi to serve as head chaplain in a state prison in Pennsylvania. My life experience guides me as a talented speaker in areas of religion, politics, spirituality, popular culture, history, chaplaincy, and interfaith affairs. My journey into Hasidic Judaism has been a unique one, and my perspectives will entertain and pique the interest of crowds.
