Comments:
1. email from Sonia Fuentes (spfuentes@comcast.net) who had attended the Feb 2012 presentation in Sarasota commenting on how Adrienne Cooper had transformed (repaired) a Chassidic Song encouraging the trowing of rocks at cars who traveled on the border of the religious quarter. (Currently the same type of people are partolling the area intemidating women (including young children) who in their opinion are not dressed modestly enough. Adrienne merely change the word "Shabos" to "Sholem).
