    CELEBRATING THE INSTALLATION OF RABBI BORUCH HALEVI LEIZEROWSKI

                                 ______


                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 1994

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join my many neighbors in 
saluting Rabbi Boruch Halevi Leizerowski, Shlita, chief rabbi of 
Philadelphia, who was recently installed as the associate chief justice 
of the Rabbinical Court of the Rabbinical Alliance of America.
  The installation was held on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, Sunday, March 13, 
1994. Rabbi Avrohom B. Hecht the president and Rabbi Yitzchok I. 
Liebes, the chief justice, as well as Rabbi Shlomo Eisner and Rabbi 
Nachum Zvi Josephy, the cochairmen, were in attendance as were Rabbi 
Herschel Kurzrock and Rabbi Dov Aaron Brisman.
  The installation of an associate chief justice of the Rabbinical 
Court is always an important occasion, but especially so when so 
distinguished a scholar assumes that office. Rabbi Leizerowski is 
highly respected and will bring a vast store of knowledge and keen 
sense of justice to his new work.
  The institution of the Rabbinical Court, and careful observance of 
halacha, has always played a central role in Jewish life both in Eretz 
Yisroel and in the diaspora. It is indeed impossible to understand 
Jewish life and the Jewish community without fully comprehending the 
critical role the Rabbinical Court plays in ensuring scrupulous 
adherence to God's laws. With the dedicated work of scholars like Rabbi 
Leizerowski the Rabbinical Court will remain a source and guidance and 
justice for the entire community.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join my neighbors, and the Members of 
this House, in congratulating Rav Leizerowski and wishing him a hearty 
yasher koach.
