                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 12, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Elke and Louis 
Chapman who are being awarded by Tifereth Israel in Passaic, NJ, on May 
22 for their services to the synagogue and the community.
  As chronicled in the May 4, 1994 edition of The Jewish Community 
News, Elke Braunstein Chapman is a graduate of the Stern College of 
Women in New York. She met Louis when working in Manhattan, and moved 
to Texas with him while he attended South Texas College of Law. Elke is 
active with the Sisterhood of Tifereth Israel, and she will soon become 
its president. She is also a lifetime member of the Hadassah and a 
member of the Yavneh Academy PTA.
  Louis B. Chapman is originally from Texas and moved to Passaic in 
1983. He has been quite active in Jewish affairs since moving to New 
Jersey. He quickly became president of Tifereth Israel, and has been 
credited with its many improvements in recent years. Louis has also 
given much time to the Jewish Federation of Greater Clifton-Passaic. He 
is its vice president, a member of the board of directors and 
allocations committee, and received its Young Leadership Award, as 
well.
  Louis is active in other organizations such as Yeshiva Gedola of 
Passaic, the Etz Chaim NCSY, the Hillel Academy of Passaic, the Yavneh 
Academy in Paramus. Other activities include membership on the board of 
governors of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and the 
American, New Jersey, and Passaic County Bar Associations.
  It is with great pleasure that I ask my colleagues to join with me in 
honoring the Chapmans on this distinguished occasion.
