Dr. Yehuda Pryce: A Gang Member's Journey from Prison to Judaism

Omar Pryce got involved with Los Angeles gangs when he was young. His mother, originally from Sri Lanka, divorced his Jamaican father and remarried a white man, which made Pryce struggle with his identity. To find acceptance, Pryce turned to groups like the Crips and Bloods gangs. However, this acceptance came at a price. Pryce worked as a mercenary for the gangs, trafficking drugs, ammunition, and more. His criminal activities eventually led him in California's notorious Pelican Bay State Prison as an adult.During his time in prison, Pryce had a transformative experience. He discovered Judaism. He also met his wife while he was in prison. Through miracles, he got out and is living life as a Torah Jew with his family. Aleph is an incredible organization that played a big role in Yehuda (and other prisoner's) life: https://aleph-institute.org/ ____________________________________ ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ____________________________________ ► ESROGSHOPPER.COM: ORDER NOW and get your ESROG/LULOV SET delivered to your door for SUCCOS!
