  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dorothy and 
Ozzie Goren and their family for their outstanding contributions to the 
Jewish community and the community at large for many decades.
  The Talmud states that ``He who does charity and justice is as if he 
had filled the whole

world with kindness.'' The Jewish Family Service has recognized the 
Goren family for their exceptional commitment others that has done much 
to improve the quality of life in our community. Their philanthropy 
sets an example for us all.
  Dorothy's dedication to the Jewish Federation began on a mission in 
1962. Since then, she has served as chair of the Women's Division 
Campaign, president of the Western Region, and was the first woman to 
chair the UJF campaign. She has also served as a past president of the 
Jewish Federation and continues her service as an active board member 
on all key committees.
  Ozzie has also been very committed to the Jewish community. In 
addition to serving as president of the Jewish Federation, he has also 
chaired the UJF campaign. His dedication surpasses the Jewish community 
with his efforts on issues such as human relations and civil rights.
  Both Dorothy and Ozzie have passed these values on to their children. 
Jerry and Julia are helping to reform the criminal justice system and 
education. Carol and her husband, Ron Corn, volunteer their time in an 
array of organizations in the Denver community. Bruce and his wife, 
Susie, are volunteers in the Los Angeles Community.
  Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues, please join me in honoring 
Dorothy and Ozzie Goren and their family. They are true role models for 
the citizens of Los Angeles.
