                           HONORING RABBI GAN

                                 ______


                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 1, 1994

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
Rabbi Robert T. Gan as he marks his 25th anniversary of service to 
Temple Isaiah and our community.
  I have known Rabbi Gan for some two decades and have great admiration 
for his gentle, thoughtful, and persuasive religious leadership. Rabbi 
Gan has won a community-wide following by eschewing bombast and 
demagoguery and following the paths of reconciliation, unity, and 
fellowship.
  As the Rabbi of Temple Isaiah, Rabbi Gan oversees a large 
congregation with an elaborate set of educational and social programs. 
In addition to his tremendous responsibilities at Temple Isaiah, he has 
worked hard at building ties to other faiths and in providing 
leadership to the entire community of rabbis in southern California.
  I ask the House of Representatives to join me in congratulating Rabbi 
Gan and in wishing him many more years of inspired and successful 
spiritual leadership.
