Lasurim of USA

Mission

L’Asurim is a non-for-profit organization that is dedicated to
serving the Jewish community in preventing and reducing crime, as well
as helping the incarcerated do their time and rehabilitate so that they
can again become part of society.

Prevention:
First and foremost our emphasis is to educate the orthodox Jewish
community in the laws and responsibilities that come with living in this
great country, thereby helping to reduce crime through education. This
is done through seminars, awareness events and video presentations
organized periodically in major orthodox Jewish communities.

Supporting Those Indicted:
In the unfortunate event of an arrest, our mission is to help the
indicted with support and advice, transportation to and from court,
organized prayers for their welfare, preparation for serving time in
prison and very importantly, providing support to the family who is
going through this emotionally-draining ordeal.

Supporting Prisoners:
We offer support to those already in prison and to their loved ones. To
those incarcerated we provide correspondence, clergy visitors, visits
by family and friends, books, religious articles and care packages. To
the families of prisoners we offer transportation to and from the
prisons and we run support groups to help them get through this ordeal.
We also organize prayers to be said for prisoners and their loved ones.
