Torah Saved Me From 300 Years in Jail
Living Lchaim
Eli Riesel's journey from a successful real estate developer to a dedicated Torah scholar highlights an inspiring tale of spiritual awakening and moral steadfastness. Initially driven by material success, Eli found profound satisfaction and peace through Torah study. This transformation was put to the test when he was indicted for bank fraud related to his prior business activities, facing potentially 300 years in prison. Refusing to implicate others, his story underscores themes of faith, ethical integrity, and the pursuit of a meaningful life guided by spiritual values over worldly wealth.
