           THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EMANU-EL CONGREGATION

 Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I rise today to extend my congratulations 
to the Emanu-El Congregation on their 150th anniversary.
  The Emanu-El Congregation stands as a beacon and an example for the 
entire community. The congregation has grown and it's ever-expanding 
members contribute brilliantly to the many important aspects of 
American life and culture. Additionally, its unselfish contributions 
also help to increase the quality of life for not only the residents of 
their neighborhood, but for all New Yorkers as well.
  In these trying times, both at home and abroad, it is vital that the 
congregation work to strengthen and bring together the entire 
community. The vitality and activism of the congregation is essential 
and invaluable, especially in these periods of increased anti-Semitism 
and other hatred, as well as the continued dangers for the State of 
Israel.
  I wish the Emanu-El Congregation happiness and continued success in 
all their future endeavors. I hope their celebration is a special one 
that will be treasured for years to come.
