events as part
of the Center’s
Young Jewish
Professionals
program on
Friday and
Saturday
services.
“It teaches
us the value
of t’shuvah, the idea of
repentance and turning
things around.”
Silberberg says Pryce’s
story is a deeply personal
one that will resonate with
young adults and the general
public, who are welcome
to the Saturday Shabbat
services.

INSPIRATION FOR ALL
Through Instagram, Bais
Chabad was able to connect
with Pryce, who had
numerous conversations with
Silfen about his upbringing,
path to redemption and
work improving the lives
of young adults in the Los
Angeles area.
“His main focus is getting
those who are homeless into
a home,” Silfen says.
As Silfen interviewed
Pryce, he was shocked by the
tale he heard. “His story was
amazing,” he explains.
Over the next several
months, Bais Chabad worked
hard to bring Pryce to Metro
Detroit. They explained
their vision to him and how

he could play a role in their
community events, which
have numerous speaking
engagements.
“We have speakers here all
the time sharing stories, but
this one is really different
from anything else we’ve
come across,” Silberberg
says. “It’s one of a kind.”
As the Jewish community
gets closer to the High
Holidays of Yom Kippur and
Rosh Hashanah, Silberberg
explains that stories like
Pryce’s give a new meaning
to asking for forgiveness
and receiving a fresh start,
especially during the month
of Elul.
“It’s a month of
introspection,” he says.
“You’re supposed to look
inward and think about
where you’re coming from,
where you’re going to and
how to overcome past
mistakes.”
Being a Black Orthodox
Jew, Silberberg says, also
makes Pryce’s story that
much more compelling.
“He’s embracing
something as a minority
of minorities,” he explains.
“That didn’t stop him.
Hopefully, everyone can
walk away with a message
that inspires them in an area
of their life.”
