                   TRIBUTE TO RABBI SOLOMON GOLDBERG

 Mr. JEFFORDS. Madam President, I would like to recognize the 
outstanding contribution that has been made by Rabbi Solomon Goldberg 
to the Rutland, VT, Jewish Community and to his community at large.
  Rabbi Goldberg, retiring after 42 years of service, has been a 
leader, mentor, and teacher at the Rutland Jewish Center, the regional 
anchor for Jewish life in central Vermont. His wisdom, compassion, and 
spiritual leadership have guided hundreds of families in Jewish 
tradition. He has taken his congregation through the arc of life 
experiences; from birth to bar and bat mitzvah to marriage and through 
memorial, his kindness and strength have been a constant source of 
support for all.
  Rabbi Goldberg has also been a fine educator. He has dedicated 
himself to the work of interfaith teaching, learning and communication, 
which are so important to the overall understanding and peace between 
people of different faiths. I know that he intends, even in retirement, 
to continue this fine work and I commend and encourage him in those 
endeavors. He is a fine American, and I wish he, his wife Marilyn and 
their family, all the best as they enjoy this transition in their 
lives.
