Another of my videos from #140conf, the Real-Time Web and “Now.” Enjoy!
From his website, http://recoveryrabbi.tumblr.com here’s the Recovery Rabbi’s “about me:”

Since joining the Friendship Circle in May 2002 he has galvanized the outreach efforts of the Friendship House by becoming the spiritual mentor of the more than 500 addicts and their families who seek spirituality and support from the organization.

Rabbi Pinson has served communities and individuals from the Caribbean to Canada and is fluent in four languages.
