My sincere condolences to the family. I was bar mitvahed by Dr. Siskin in 1947, and remained in touch with him through my college years. I fear that I disappointed him by not becoming a rabbi (something I thought of until my sophomore year in college). But he made a profound impact on me by his seriousness of mind, and doubtless was a factor in my becoming a professor and an intellectual. I will always feel indebted to him. He would have been pleased to know that I am currently the President of the Center for Jewish Life at Princeton University.

My thoughts are with and your family during this time. Rabbi Siskin conducted my Bar Mitzvah service on January 29, 1966 and I remember the service and him as if it were yesterday. He made this one of the most special days of my life. You were fortunate to have a life full of special days. Sincerely, Steve Shulman

I grew up in Glencoe. Rabbi Siskin was my Rabbi and also the father of a close friend, Jon. He was a great man-I was proud to have known him.My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
