European Aleph Institute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Aleph Institute is a group, founded in 2005 and based in Brussels, dedicated to ensuring the rights of estimated 3,500 to 5,000 Jews imprisoned in Europe to practice their religion. They arrange for prisoners to be provided with kosher meals, religious texts and ceremonial objects, as well as counseling, education, and financial support to families of prisoners.[1][2] The expressed intent is to avoid recidivism.
