                    TRIBUTE TO SIDONIA AND LEWIS LAX

                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Sidonia and 
Lewis Lax, a couple devoted to helping others. For more than three 
decades the two of them played a prominent role with the Brandeis-
Bardin Institute, providing strong leadership on the board of 
directors. In addition, Lewis was instrumental in the growth of 
Brandeis-Bardin when he served as vice president of administration.
  Through their involvement with Brandeis-Bardin, Lewis and Sidonia 
demonstrated their devotion and commitment to the Jewish people. At the 
same time, they recognized the centrality of the arts and education in 
Jewish life. So many young Jewish men and women have enriched their 
spiritual and intellectual lives as a result of having spent time at 
Brandeis-Bardin. In no small measure this fortunate group have Lewis 
and Sidonia Lax to thank.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in supporting Sidonia Lax and honoring 
the memory of Lewis Lax, partners who spent their entire adult life 
working on behalf of others. They are a shining example for us all.
