"In interviews, non-incarcerated members of Matir Asurim described the spiritually generative experience of studying alongside Jews behind bars, and how celebrating Passover on the inside or davening there on Yom Kippur challenged and deepened their religious practice. Matir Asurim frames this work not as “charity work” but rather as a kind of interdependence and mutual aid. “All people are holy, and all people have Torah to share,” Rosenberg told me." https://jewishcurrents.org/building-jewish-life-behind-bars
