To all the family I offer you my condolences for huge loss. I was a kid in 1963 or 1964 when he came to A G Beth Israel. He was a young guy who all the kids liked. As I remember he always had a smile on hid face,always. Maybe becasue all of us kids were such trouble makers and he knew how to deal with us. He treated all the kids so well. I really don't have any specific memorys of him but he's the kinda guy you never have anything but pleasant memorys of. As a young Cantor he brought a fresh life to the temple. Sorry for your Loss.

I remember Cantor Pliskin from working at Rosenblums Book Store many years ago. I only had and have respect for him as a Cantor and the father of Neil and Gail (and Joel as well) from the academy.
May you be comforted with fond memories and his love.

My sisters and I remember Cantor Pliskin with deep fondness and Joy! Jeffrey Manor and Congregation C.K.I. were blessed to have him in our community. As you know, Cantor Pliskin was a part of all of our Bat Mitzvah's and every important family event. We loved his spirit, voice and musical talent. He was an inspiration for us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
Tamara, Debra & Sandra Simon.
