Dear (surfing) rabbi, Shifren,
Thank you for your visit to my school, Milken Community Middle school. I dont
mean to sound corny but, you have opened they eyes to me and my classmates
that Judaism can relate to anything. Also, you seem like a cool and
understanding guy to talk to and seem like you would make a cool friend. You
are different then all the other rabbis i know...Thank you!
Sincerley,
Lisa Lewis - 8th gradeMilken Student

PS,
If its not too much trouble, can you please send me a signed book for my dad
for Hannukah. I will send you the money for how ever much it is. Please send
me the cost and your address as soon as you can. Thank you!
