                      A TRIBUTE TO JANE ZUCKERMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 2005

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary 
contributions of Jane Zuckerman, the Executive Director of Temple 
Israel of Hollywood. Jane is being honored for her 18 years of 
dedicated service to our community at Temple Israel's Annual Gala on 
June 11, 2005.
  Jane began her impressive career at Temple Israel in 1986 when she 
served as the Temple's Director of Early Childhood Education. During 
her tenure, the student population grew from 40 to 115 children with 
the addition of extended hours for working parents. Jane brought the 
now popular Parent and Me, TOT Shabbat and Toddler Seder Program to the 
Temple.
  In 1997, Jane was appointed the Temple's Executive Director. She 
blended her love of children with her keen fiscal management and 
marketing abilities in her new position. A congregant once said, 
``Every time I come into the building, Jane is there like a lovely 
hostess, creating a certain atmosphere of friendliness and welcome.''
  In her role as chief administrative officer of the Temple, she is 
responsible for the day-to-day management of its fiscal and 
administrative affairs as well as the physical plant and security. Jane 
also spearheads the marketing, membership and fundraising activities of 
the Temple.
  In fall 2004, Jane served as co-chair of the National Association of 
Temple Administrator's annual convention and has been a guest speaker 
and presenter on the subject of synagogue management at the University 
of Judaism and the Women's Rabbinic Network's annual meeting.
  Our community owes Jane a debt of gratitude for her tremendous 
dedication to Temple Israel of Hollywood. Her achievements and record 
of accomplishments are truly outstanding. I ask my colleagues to join 
me and Temple Israel of Hollywood in extending our appreciation for her 
contributions.
