From Crook To The Book: November 21st
2024-11-21 18:00 | Chabad of Ellicott City, 9785 Route 99 Ellicott City, MD 21042
Join us for a Chabad DiversiChai Program with Dr. Yehudah Pryce, a profound event celebrating the diversity within Judaism and the unifying power of dialogue across communities. This gathering underscores the truth that Jews come in all colors, each contributing uniquely to the rich mosaic of Jewish life. In a world increasingly touched by racism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia—issues that have affected our Maryland communities as well—DiversiChai serves as an open invitation to come together, learn, and foster understanding among all people.
Dr. Yehudah Pryce, our esteemed speaker, brings a remarkable story of resilience and transformation. Formerly involved in street violence and gang activity, Dr. Pryce found himself serving a 24-year prison sentence, where he chose to change his life by embracing Judaism. Through an Orthodox Jewish conversion program, he embarked on a path of personal redemption and cultural understanding. Since his release in 2018, Dr. Pryce has earned his Doctorate in Social Work and now leads mental health initiatives, focusing on those impacted by incarceration and reentry. He works as the Senior Director of National Mental Health and Well-Being Programs, and he provides psychotherapy to “Lifers” in California prisons who are preparing for the parole board.
In his presentation, Dr. Pryce will share his journey from juvenile delinquency to Judaism, discussing the transformative power of teshuvah (repentance), the strength of community, and the crucial role of Jewish tradition. He’ll highlight the unbroken chain of indigenous Jewish religious tradition—a foundation that reinforces Jewish identity and connects generations across time and space to the land and culture of Israel. Together, we’ll explore Israel’s own remarkable diversity, where people from countless backgrounds coexist and contribute to its vibrant society.
Come be part of a powerful conversation on unity, resilience, and the unshakeable threads that weave together Jewish identity and heritage. Let DiversiChai inspire you to see diversity as a strength, as we work to build bridges across communities and stand united against prejudice. This is an evening of stories, learning, and mutual respect—don’t miss the opportunity to engage deeply with Dr. Pryce’s incredible journey and the insights he has to share.
