Shalom likes to attend meetings with the Messianic Jews. He likes the people and their discussions. The Catholic inmates, especially my "cloistered brothers" give him a hard time about it. Well on Good Friday the Catholics only have a service, not Mass, and the service is not a holy day of obligation. The Messianic Jews have a seder. The seder requires different food than prison inmates usually eat. That's a big attraction. Suddenly, many inmates are Jews. They are getting something different to eat. That's how my "cloistered brother" got the nickname Shalom.
Shalom is better than being called Judas. Shalom means peace and Judas was the apostle who betrayed Jesus.
