                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 7, 2001

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in tribute to David H. 
Tantleff, who will be honored on Wednesday, June 6, by the Westchester 
Jewish Conference. Mr. Tantleff has demonstrated a tremendous 
commitment to his local community, and especially to his synagogue, 
Congregation Anshe Sholom in New Rochelle, NY.
  Since receiving his B.A. from Brooklyn College in history and 
political science, and M.A. degrees in Secondary Education and 
Political Science from Long Island University and the New School for 
Social Research, Mr. Tantleff has taught in New York City's public 
school system.
  On top of his over 30-year commitment to his teaching career. Mr. 
Tantleff has performed extraordinary service for the Jewish Community, 
sitting on the boards of directors of two synagogues, organizing 
services and holiday celebrations, sounding the shofar on the high 
holidays, serving as cantor every week, and planning educational and 
religious workshops. Just recently, Mr. Tantleff arranged for Rabbi Ely 
J. Rosenzveig of Congregation Anshe Sholom to deliver the opening 
prayer here on the floor of the House of Representatives, accompanied 
by an enthusiastic group from his congregation.
  Mr. Tantleff's commitment to his community is rivaled only by his 
love and dedication to his two children, Adam and Debra. We all look 
forward to their futures, as they will surely follow in their father's 
footsteps and prove to be outstanding citizens. It is my privilege to 
congratulate David Tantleff on this special occasion.
