                     TRIBUTE TO TEMPLE SHIR SHALOM

                                 ______


                          HON. SANDER M. LEVIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 1, 1995
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the dedication of a 
new home for Temple Shir Shalom of West Bloomfield, MI. Temple Shir 
Shalom was founded in June 1988 with just 30 committed families. For 
the past 7 years, congregants worshiped in rented space in an office 
building at the same time promoting and planning for a permanent home.
  Today Temple Shir Shalom is the proud congregation of 650 members, 
and their new home reflects the commitment and diligence of the entire 
congregation--the clergy, the staff, and the congregants. I commend 
them on their achievement of reaching the day they had looked forward 
to for so long.
  To everyone at Temple Shir Shalom, I extend every good wish for many, 
many fruitful years ahead.
