  Mr. BORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 50th 
anniversary of the Temple Beth Torah. This synagogue serves the Jewish 
community in Northeast Philadelphia as well as the surrounding suburban 
neighborhoods of Montgomery and Bucks Counties.
  Boulevard Temple was the original name of the synagogue when it was 
formed in 1949. In 1965, it was necessary to change the location of the 
temple in order to better serve the Jewish community. Since this 
expansion, the synagogue has been known as the Temple Beth Torah.
  Temple Beth Torah enriches the community in many ways. Beyond 
meaningful and significant services, the synagogue has formed and 
manages a highly regarded School of Religion and an excellent Nursery 
School. In addition, the members of Temple Beth Torah improve their 
community through a wide array of events and activities. The 
Sisterhood, Men's Club and PTA strive to develop programs that will 
engage and educate congregants of all ages.
  I wish to sincerely honor the Temple Beth Torah for its many 
accomplishments and offer my congratulations on the 50th anniversary. I 
hope the Temple continues to help the Jewish community prosper, 
flourish and benefit for many more years into the future.
