The Probate Law Firm of

The Probate Law 
Firm of
temple with his caring and 
loving grandfather. Frank 
recalled one memory, where 
his grandfather told him 
he had to feed the animals 
before he could feed him-
self. When I told him that 
was a Jewish custom, Frank 
nodded and replied, “That 
makes sense. I could see 
God in him.”
Eventually, Frank’s 
mother started going to 
church and he started life 
as a Christian. It was then 
he felt connected to mis-
sion work and, now, has 
expressed a desire to work 
with the needy once he is 
released. 
However, he never forgot 
his grandfather and the 
deep connection he once 
felt toward Judaism.
After he was incarcerated, 
Frank began to read the 
Bible intently and started 
to keep some Jewish prac-
tices. He made sure to rest 
on Shabbat. He asked his 
facility for kosher food but 
was denied since he was not 
considered Jewish. This was 
something that hurt him 

since he felt a connection to 
Judaism and wanted to be 
authentic.
Over the last several 
months, Frank and I meet 
to study the weekly Torah 
portion, trying to make 
connections between the 
stories we read and his 
experiences. We have read 
about Joseph and how he 
dealt with incarceration. We 
have addressed the harden-
ing of Pharaoh’s heart and 
how to deal with unfavor-
able judgement. We have 
discussed repentance and 
forgiveness and were able to 
get Frank his own copy of 
the Tanach, as well as help 
him receive kosher food. 
Despite the harsh reality 
he faces, Frank is deter-
mined to continue to grow 
in his faith and desires to 
learn as much as he can. 
His Jewish journey is well 
under way.
