TESTIMONIALS
"The rabbi was Andy Bossov, and if you've never seen him in action, you must. He had the guests in stitches. This past Yom Kippur he conducted some thing like nine services over at Temple Emmanu-El, then ran down to the Players theater to play Sondheim at an AIDS benefit. He's the perfect Sarasota rabbi. First he atones, then he plays show tunes." Roberl Plunkett, from "Mr. Chatterbox," Sarasota Magazine, February 2001
"My heartfelt thanks to you for your presence at Bishop Porter's 33rd Appreciation Service. The words you spoke were not just words, but words of life. My heart is still excited from those words. You left an indelible mark on our hearts. Bishop Porter is still talking about you. Your presence made him extremely happy." Mrs. Bessie Pitts, Henry L. Porter Evangelistic Association, Inc., Sarasota, FL
