Bagels, Bears & Baalei Teshuva in Berkeley: Rabbi Yehuda & Miriam Ferris
Bagels, Bears & Baalei Teshuva in Berkeley: Rabbi Yehuda & Miriam Ferris
“We had no manual. We had great role models, but basically we didn't know what to do. The Rebbe told us, "You should spread the joy and inspiration of Yiddishkeit." But he didn't tell us how. So we were basically experimenting with humor, with music, with food, different programs, whatever sticks, you throw it against the wall.”
"When we got here to Berkeley, there were no Baalei Teshuva on campus. Today, our campus shluchim are baalei teshuva that we helped bring to Yiddishkeit. And I do anticipate a tsunami of more Baalei Teshuva."
