                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 11, 1998

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, the gentlemen from California Mr. Berman and 
Mr. Sherman and I ask our colleagues to join us in saluting our good 
friend Shelly Rosenberg, who was honored on Friday, May 8, 1998 for her 
tremendous contributions to Kehillat Israel and our entire community.
  Shelly is deeply committed to the Jewish people, Jewish education, 
and the centrality of religious worship in Jewish life. She has been 
actively involved in virtually every aspect of Kehillat Israel's 
activities, and for the last eight years has ably served as Executive 
Director. She previously served on the Board of Directors as Nursery 
School Chair, Religious Education and Youth Chair, and for two years as 
President of the Board of Directors.
  In addition, Shelly has been the driving force to make the dream of 
constructing a new synagogue a reality. Without her unparalleled 
energy, her incredible talent, and her resolute determination, this 
great undertaking simply could not have been achieved.
  At the center of Shelly's life is her devoted husband, Ken, and their 
wonderful daughters, Carin and Cindy--and at the center of their lives 
together has been Kehillat Israel. They have been active members since 
1971 and their now-adult children who give Shelly and Ken such pride, 
began their nursery school learning, attended religious school, and 
celebrated their B'nai Mitzva and Confirmations at the synagogue.
  In addition to her devoted service to Kehillat Israel, Shelly has 
served the larger community in numerous ways. She was President of the 
Pacific Palisades Junior Women's Club; on the board of B'nai B'rith 
Women, Palisades Coordination Council, New Start, and Las Doradas; and 
an active member of the PTAs of Webster, Malibu Park Junior High 
School, and Santa Monica High School.
  We all owe Shelly a debt of gratitude for her tireless and selfless 
work on behalf of our community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to her 
for her generous commitment and we wish her, Ken, Carin, and Cindy 
every happiness and success in the future.
