The DRS Wildcast
S2E9: Talking with Shabbaton Guest Dr. Yehuda Pryce
This week on the DRS Wildcast, we sit down with our Shabbaton Guest Speaker, Dr. Yehudah Pryce, whose life story is nothing short of extraordinary. Once a California gang member serving time in Pelican Bay State Prison, Dr. Pryce discovered Judaism behind bars and transformed his life entirely.
Born to a Sri Lankan mother and Jamaican father, Yehudah’s journey from confusion and conflict to faith, resilience, and purpose is deeply moving. Today, he lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children, serving as a clinical social worker at the Chabad Treatment Center, helping others find light through struggle.
In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Pryce shares his powerful story of teshuvah, growth, and redemption — and what it truly means to find Hashem in the darkest places.
