Yosef Waslow: How Alcohol Addiction Ultimately Led Me to Becoming a Chassid
About this episode
Yosef Waslow shares his journey from battling alcoholism to embracing Chassidism and finding his identity.
Today, Yosef Waslow is a Chassidish husband and father, but his story is far deeper than becoming frum. Raised by a white Jewish mother and a black Baptist father, Yosef battled with alcoholism, fitting in, searching for identity, and eventually found his way to Torah and family. Yet this conversation isn't really about addiction, race, or even becoming a baal teshuva. ✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬ ► Colel Chabad: Help Families in Israel Make daily tzedakah part of your routine with the Colel Chabad Pushka App.Yaakov here.
