A group of American Chabad bochurim got to visit the Kaidar Prison in the southern Israeli city of Beer Sheva this past week.
What was of interest to them was not the prison system, but the Jewish souls incarcerated in them for short-term sentences of up to 7 years.
Traveling from their Yeshivas Chabad in Cholon, they met at the new central Chabad center in Beer Sheva for Mincha and dinner and continued to the prison, which can hold at to 300 prisoners.
The prison, established in 1948, has separate divisions for prisoners and detainees clean from drugs and for the Shabbos observant ones. The bochurim brought in candles and disposable Menorahs and lots of joy and good spirits.
Before this trip, the English-speaking bochurim have been doing rounds in Cholon, visiting stores and shops and lighting there with owners and customers.
They also visited an army base, bring donuts and light to the dedicated IDF soldiers.
