  Ms. SOLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Rob and Sherri Vines for 
their life-long contributions to the Congregation Emanu El and the 
Inland Empire community of Southern California.
  Rob and Sherri Vines have been active and loyal members of their 
congregation for over 30 years. Exemplifying the best in humanitarian 
leadership, they continue to earn respect and admiration from people of 
all walks of life. Mrs. Vines serves the congregation in numerous 
capacities, including teaching at the School of Jewish Living and 
serving three terms as Sisterhood President in the Inland Empire. She 
is also a member of the congregation's executive committee of community 
service, having coordinated numerous events for San Bernardino County 
residents.
  Robert Vines, a workers' compensation attorney, has been a member of 
the California State Bar since 1973, serving as the Deputy District 
Attorney for San Bernardino County from 1973-1975. In addition, he 
proudly serves as President of the United Jewish Welfare Fund of San 
Bernardino County. He is President of the Greater Inland Empire's 
Applicants' Attorney Association. He also serves in various offices 
with the Board of Governors of the California Applicants' Attorney 
Association. Mr. Vines has earned countywide recognition as one of the 
top ten attorneys in the Inland Empire.
  Rob and Sherri Vines received the Rabbi Norman F. Feldheym Award as a 
testament to all the hard work, love and energy they have exemplified 
throughout their lives. This award memorializes Rabbi Feldheym's values 
of unconditional love and loyalty to one's synagogue, service to the 
community, and a character imbued with humility and loving kindness to 
others.
  I salute Rob and Sherri Vines on the occasion of being awarded the 
Rabbi Norman F. Feldheym Award and wish them continued success and 
prosperity.
