The Rabbi and the Skinhead

Chana,

What an interesting interview! Thanks for sharing! Reply

I watched and listened again. What a marvelous interview. I was struck by how powerful those pivotal moments were, when light revealed truth in the darkness, showing what was most important, what really mattered, what is of real value. I saw it as a string of lights, including moments of prayer and self soul-searching. What also struck me was the solemn conversation about making amends, how it started from within, working on oneself, and the fact that healing and full redemption is the work of Hashem. It is our duty to do all we can, in every moment, to make the earth a place of peace (as Cameron said “us” instead of “them”) yes, a place for Him to dwell with us. What a beautiful story of restoration, vision and partnership. Thank you again. Reply

Amazing people. Both of them. Really the type of people and message we need right now. Reply

Thank you for this wonderful interview. So nice to see all the good work that you do , impacting so many people Reply

In my non-Jewish small town, Restorative Justice is just a turnstile to free privileged elites from consequences of their abuse and give them a free pass without taking responsibility. Cameron was lucky to find Rabbi Pearlstein who took the program to its best expression instead of the corrupt vehicle it can be. Reply

Cameron: I just want to applaud you for - against all odds - turning your life around. From hate to love; from darkness to light; from destroying to building. May Gd give you the inner strength and wherewithal to continue to grow and build and shine positive light.
Thank you sharing your very personal story. Reply

This was a great interview. Thank you. What a duo! It was so heartwarming and real. It was also very powerful and hopeful. This is the kind of conversation that is needed to open up hearts and minds for the age to come. What a wonderful time that will be. Thank you again… Reply

Cameron, you are a very brave and impressive person. You describe your life's journey with such eloquence and humility that the trajectory sounds obvious - but it could easily have gone wrong at any point.
May you and Rabbi Pearlstein both be tremendously blessed to continue your respectful relationship and to share your wisdom and inspiration with the world. Reply
