                    TRIBUTE TO MINA AND JORDAN RUSH

                                 ______


                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 1995
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, please join me in saluting Mina and Jordan 
Rush, who will receive the service award for their vision of the future 
at the 47th Annual Tribute Dinner of B'nai David-Judea Congregation on 
June 25, 1995.
  Mina Rush has served B'nai David-Judea Congregation in numerous 
capacities for many years. She has been a member of the board of 
directors, membership chairman, and co-chairman of the annual banquet.
  Mina Rush has always generously and selflessly devoted herself to 
worthwhile causes. She has served the State of Israel and cooperated 
with the Israel Defense Forces in her work with the Volunteers for 
Israel. She also led the recent Kiev emergency relief project that 
provided enormous quantities of food for a starving community.
  Jordan Rush has had a distinguished career in entertainment as a 
producer, director, and actor. He served in these roles in ``The 
Mirror,'' which was honored at the Southwest Film Festival. As a 
humanitarian, he has chaired Volunteers for Israel and Adopt a Soviet 
Family, a program of the Jewish Federation.
  Proud parents of Tzvia, Atara, and Harel, the Rushes have always been 
concerned with the future of our Jewish youth. Their entire family 
worships regularly at B'nai David-Judea Congregation. They have 
participated in numerous Torah study classes and have been active in 
the Eliztur Sports League, of which Jordan Rush was a founder.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Mina and Jordan Rush for receiving the prestigious Service Award of 
B'nai David-Judea Congregation and in expressing appreciation for their 
many contributions to our community. I extend to them great thanks and 
wish them every happiness and success in all future endeavors.
