                        RABBI SOLOMON WEINBERGER

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor a man who has devoted 
his entire life for the Jewish community in Passaic.
  Rabbi Solomon Weinberger was born in Poland and came to the United 
States as a child. He received his Smicha at Yeshiva Torah Vodaath. His 
initial Rabbinic position was in Babylon, Long Island, and he later 
moved to Passaic in 1956 where he has served as the Rabbi of 
Congregation Tifereth Israel.
  Rabbi Weinberger is presently the senior practicing rabbi in Passaic 
and has made his involvement in the Kehilla an important aspect of his 
life. For example, he has served as president of the Rabbinical Council 
of New Jersey and national vice-president of the Rabbinical Alliance of 
America. In addition, he has been the rabbinic chairman of Vaad Hakohol 
in Passaic since 1984. The rabbi has also devoted almost 30 years to 
the Local Assistance Board Welfare Department in Passaic.
  Since his arrival to Passaic, Rabbi Weinberger has been a Hillel 
board member. Moreover, he taught at the yeshiva for numerous years 
where he sent his two sons. As in the past, the rabbi has continually 
encouraged his Baale-batim to support the school both financially and 
by entrusting their children's education there.
  The Hillel Academy is extremely proud to have Rabbi Weinberger 
pronounced as this year's dinner journal honoree, and I am delighted to 
recognize the hard work he has done in the community.
