                       TRIBUTE TO YESHIVA KETANA

                                 ______


                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 2, 1994

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the Yeshiva Ketana 
of Manhattan on the occasion of its Seventh Annual Dinner on February 
5, 1994. The Yeshiva, which is located at 346 West 89th Street in 
Manhattan, serves the Orthodox Jewish communities of Manhattan's West 
Side, Lower East Side, and Washington Heights, and that of the Bronx 
and surrounding areas as well. This institution exemplifies the spirit 
of continuity in Jewish life and Jewish education that is so integral 
to the Yeshiva Ketana's parents and supporters.
  I also want to commend the fine individuals who, by virtue of their 
outstanding efforts, have been named as honorees for the Seventh Annual 
Dinner. Being honored at this year's dinner will be Mrs. Peppy 
Septimus, a grandmother of five children who now attend the yeshiva. 
Rabbi and Mrs. Arnie Kanarek, parents at the yeshiva, will receive the 
Rabbinic Community Service Award. Rabbi Kanarek teaches at Yeshiva 
University's high school and is the spiritual leader of the synagogue 
which serves the Einstein Medical Center Jewish community. Also being 
honored are the students and parents of the first graduating class.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to bring to the attention of this House the 
values of continuity in Jewish life shown by the staff, parents, 
students, and supporters of the Yeshiva Ketana and to honor those 
individuals due to be recognized at the Seventh Annual Dinner who have 
served as role models and loyal friends to the yeshiva. May you be 
``Matzliach'' in your praiseworthy efforts for many years to come.
