   IN HONOR OF THE DEDICATION OF THE NEW CAMPUS OF THE FRISCH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT GARRETT

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 6, 2007

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join the 
faculty, parents, and students at the Frisch School in Paramus New 
Jersey in celebrating the dedication of their new campus. The new 14-
acre property will help this yeshiva continue to practice educational 
excellence and instill hundreds of young people each year with 
sustenance for their minds, bodies, and souls.
  Since its founding in 1972 by Rabbi Menachem Meier and Alfred Frisch, 
the school has grown from a student body of a mere dozen to more than 
620. The Frisch School curriculum is rigorous--offering a steady course 
of core subjects as well as a wide variety of advanced placement 
classes. Students leave Frisch well versed in history, liberal arts, 
science and math, and the cultural arts. But, they also leave well 
versed in Judaic heritage and values. As a college preparatory school, 
students often go on to higher education, well-prepared by their Frisch 
experience. And, each year, a good portion of the student body goes to 
Israel to spend a year in study as well.
  The new Henry & Esther Swieca Family Campus, Mordecai & Monique Katz 
Academic Building, and Zayat Athletic Center are the result of hard 
work by a dedicated community of parents, faculty, and students. The 
extraordinary generosity of dozens of families has enabled the School 
to literally double its size and provide even more educational 
opportunities to its students.
  The Frisch School counts among its notable alumni Elie Katz, Mayor of 
Teaneck; Arthur Lenk, Israeli Ambassador to Azerbaijan; and Rabbi 
Daniel Nevins, Dean of the Rabbinical School of the Jewish Theological 
Seminary of America. Under the guidance of its President, David Rauch; 
its Principal, Dr. Kalman Stein; and its Executive Director, Elaine 
Weitzman, I am certain that still more leaders will emerge from the 
Frisch School ranks, and I look forward to seeing the wonderful 
contributions they make to our community and our society.
