                          HON. JAMES T. WALSH

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 14, 2004

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in tribute to the Temple Adath 
Yeshurun in Syracuse, New York, which is celebrating its 136th 
anniversary on July 16, 2004.
  Since it was founded in 1867, the ``congregation of the righteous'' 
has grown from the group of young men that established it, into a large 
congregation that now works to serve its community through the 
development of several religious, educational, cultural and social 
programs. It has succeeded throughout the years to reach out to all 
generations with its own schools, camps, family education programs, and 
senior member social activities. The temple continues to provide not 
only a place to worship, but also a place for the citizens of Central 
New York to gather together as a community.
  I would like to express my sincere congratulations to the leaders and 
members of the Temple Yeshurun. Their long heritage and continued 
service to their community deserves great recognition and celebration.

                          ____________________
