From Gangs and Prison to Judaism

Description

Dr. Yehudah Pryce started out as a teenage gang member robbing drug dealers and committing many crimes. When he was 19, Yehudah was sentenced to 24 Years in prison. Behind bars everything changed. Inside the cell Yehudah found faith. Today, he’s a Jew, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and he now leads mental health programs in prisons, helping those who share a past like his. In this episode of Jewish and Joyful, Dr. Yehuda Pryce shares his insane story: the gangster who found God in prison.
