When the KKK Tried to Recruit Me Cory's unique path to Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem. It was a glorious autumn day at the foot of Colorado’s magnificent Pikes Peak Mountain Range. Cory, a 23 year old earning a master's degree in education and leadership at the University of Colorado, was out on a recreational pheasant hunt with friends. It was there that he met Jake*. Tall, with a scruffy beard and both arms covered in tattoos, Jake took a liking to Cory. They exchanged numbers and over the next few months kept in touch. One day, Cory was at the shooting range preparing for elk season when in walked Jake. He gave Cory a big hello and, after some small talk, extended an invitation to his home.
