“What we found here was that it's an incredibly challenging shlichus environment. There's a lot of spiritual complacency here. Not that people aren't spiritual, but that they feel that they already have what they're looking for spiritually. And it’s not what we were selling, so to speak. ” - Rabbi Yochanan Friedman

"I was sitting on a park bench with a woman who had a lot of piercings. And she looked at me and she said, "What's going to happen first? Am I going to become religious, or you're going to get the piercings?" - Rebbetzin Baily Friedman
