                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 1997

  Ms. STABENOW. Mr. Speaker, I wish to pay tribute to Rabbi Morton 
Hoffman upon his retirement from Temple Shaaraey Zedek. Rabbi Hoffman 
has served the people of East Lansing and the congregation of Temple 
Shaaraey Zedek since 1983. As a rabbi, he has served God and the 
families of East Lansing through his leadership in his temple, his 
knowledge of religion and history, and his commitment to his community 
and family.
  Along with his duties as rabbi, Rabbi Hoffman has served as education 
director for Temple Shaaraey Zedek's religious schools, and has served 
on the Governor's Committee for the Establishment of the Annual Martin 
Luther King Day of Observance and the Governor's Committee for the 
Annual State Observance of the Holocaust Memorial Day. He is a member 
of the East Lansing Clergy Coalition and, in May 1990, earned the 
doctor of Hebrew letter degree from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish 
Institute of Religion.
  Rabbi Morton Hoffman's commitment to his community is unparalleled 
and his leadership will be missed.
  I speak for all the people of the eighth district in thanking him for 
his service. I wish Rabbi Hoffman mazel tov in the future.
