                  TRIBUTE TO DR. JOSHUA AND DORIS LEVY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD SHERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 21, 1998

  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. Joshua 
and Doris Levy for their visionary leadership and dedication to 
building our community by donating their time and energy to the recent 
expansion and renovation of Temple Shaarey Zedek.
  The Talmud tell us, ``He who does charity and justice is as if he had 
filled the whole world with kindness.'' Since arriving in the San 
Fernando Valley in 1967, Dr. and Mrs. Levy have done just this. They 
have assumed many key leadership roles and responsibilities in the 
Jewish community, selflessly dedicating their time to enriching others. 
In their most recent positions, Joshua Levy has spearheaded Shaarey 
Zedek's $2 million expansion and renovating project while Doris Levy 
remains active in the Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood. In addition, Joshua has 
served on the boards of various Jewish organizations in the West 
Valley, among them Emek Hebrew Academy and Valley Torah High School.
  Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, please join me in honoring 
Doctor Joshua and Doris Levy for their community activism and visinary 
leadership in helping to strengthen our community.
