Sponsored by Jewish Week
Tuesday June 30th @ 7 PM At Congregation Rodeph Sholom, 7 West 83rd Street, followed by reception and book signing.
Louis Ferrante, a former member of the Mafia, spent nine years in Federal and State Prisons. During his incarceration he began a journey of redemption. He read voraciously and explored various faiths, including Islam and Buddhism. Born into an Italian Catholic family, after reading Torah and Jewish philosophers, Judaism appealed to his spirit and soul. When released from prison, his conversion to Judaism completed and complemented his journey.
