Thank You to the WDET listeners who donated and made this possible. samillona honorable Mentiona from page 11 Logan Morof of Beverly Hills is a fifth-grader at Hillel. In addition to his mom's awesome spaghetti, Logan loves that his mom, Nicole Morof, is best at being a friend. "When I think of mom, enjoy- ment comes to my mind. My mom always says that it's the little things in life that count and that's really the truth. It's the things like play- ing tennis or watching movies that make the best memories. That's where moms come in. "Your mom can be the best cook or the best at her job, but mine is the best at being a friend. She is my tennis buddy, my movie go-to gal and, of course, my loving mom. "She makes dinner a delight, and the best food she makes is spaghetti. The greatest spaghetti is always my mom's; it's a treat to have! "When she drives me around in the car, we have the best, most fun chats about what's going on in our Nicole, puppy Kobie and Logan Morof lives. We talk about friends; we talk about scary events, fun ones, too, and we talk about everything under the sun. "My mom always sets high standards for me and for her. We always achieve our goals or try our hardest to get to them. We always have a good time, and that's why I love my mom." Eitan Shere of West Bloomfield is fifth-grader at Hillel. He wrote with humor about the virtues of his well-known mom, Rabbi Rachel Shere of Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills. Our supportive community of listeners makes WDET's community impact possible. "My mother is really a great woman. Now, I know, you've probably heard of the famous Rabbi Rachel Shere. That's great and all, but I love her for a mother, not a rabbi. "She takes good care of me and my two brothers and my dog, Simcha. Whether it's baking, storytelling, playing or helping with homework, my mom is ALWAYS on the job. I don't care if she grows old and is in a nursing home and I'm a famous gazillionaire, I will still go to help her out every day of every week of every month. "She takes us on amazing trips, like to New York, California and Israel. Her heart is big, her kindness is unlimited and, overall, she is a great rabbi. Now, I know that I said I love her for a mother, not a rabbi, but learning the insights of the Torah with her is the most fun thing! "But here's a shout out to all you mothers out there, who worked hard to raise your kids to be the wonderful people they are, and I want to end this pas- sage with one word: Thanks:' ❑ Rachel, Eitalia,' Avi, Dan and Ezra Shere cadet 101.9 fm WDET is a service of 12 May 9 • 2013 JN WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY
