MY STORY
People ask me where Surf and Soul started…
Shifren’s circuitous journey evolves into a spiritual quest that takes him from the pristine waves of Hawaii and Mexico, to intermarriage in Germany, a soldiers’s duty in Israel, and finally, to a small shtetl where he learns the mysteries of the Jewish ancients.
“Gentiles, Jews and secular beach rats of all stripe will find adventure here.”

Surfers Who Don’t Surf
When asked what the experience is of riding a big wave, Greg Noll answered, “If you have to ask, then you’ll never know”.
Now, Rabbi Shifren’s new book, “Surfers…Who Don’t Surf” reveals the eternal and mystical answer to one of civilization’s greatest puzzles with great humor, depth of meaning, and life’s lessons for both surfers and terrestrial beings.
