Harriet Rossetto, MSW, answered her “call” to aid incarcerated Jewish offenders, challenging the denial of addiction and crime within the community. Frustrated by recidivism, she envisioned and built Beit T’Shuvah, a world-renowned recovery center. Rossetto’s work has earned recognition, including participation in White House roundtables and an award from President Obama. After 40 years, she was forced to step down from the organization she founded. Harriet received a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Minnesota. She is married to Rabbi Mark Bovoritz, former inmate turned Rabbi and co-founder of Beit T’Shuvah. They are the subject of a documentary called The Jewish Jail Lady and the Holy Thief.
