           HONORING DR. RENEE GROSS AND MR. STUART FEINBLATT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 2, 2009

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, on Sunday, March 15, 2009, the Highland 
Park Conservative Temple and Center will present the coveted Chaver 
Award for exemplary community service to Dr. Renee Gross and Mr. Stuart 
Feinblatt. This is a well deserved honor, and I am proud to join in 
paying tribute to Dr. Renee Gross and Mr. Stuart Feinblatt for their 
tireless service to their temple and community.
  Dr. Gross and Mr. Feinblatt are both irreplaceable assets to their 
community who have cared for and protected those in my district. Dr. 
Gross is a valued senior partner with the Obstetrical and Gynecological 
Group and has delivered an estimated 2,500 babies throughout her 
career. Mr. Feinblatt is a partner at the prestigious Sills Cummis & 
Gross law firm in Newark, New Jersey where he is the firm's exclusive 
litigator on healthcare and medical issues.
  Dr. Gross and Mr. Feinblatt have actively served the Highland Park 
Conservative Temple together for over twenty years. Mr. Feinblatt is 
completing his sixth year as a member of the Temple's Board of 
Trustees, while Dr. Gross is a member of the morning minyan and attends 
the Rabbi's weekly class. They have both been involved as Vice Chairs 
on the Livnot Campaign, which is working to rebuild parts of the temple 
damaged by a fire. Their timeless dedication to their Temple is 
admirable.
  Outside of the congregation, Dr. Gross and Mr. Feinblatt are active 
members of the community. Mr. Feinblatt is the former President of the 
Board of Trustees of the Solomon Schechter Day School of Raritan 
Valley. He is also on the Dean's Advisory Council for the Dean of the 
Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences. Both Dr. Gross and Mr. Feinblatt 
are active in the Jewish Federation and are members of the Vanguard 
Committee, as well. Although these two individuals live busy lives, 
they have consistently dedicated time to strengthening their community.
  Madam Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Dr. Renee Gross and Mr. Stuart Feinblatt for their 
distinguished service to their fellow citizens. Their accomplishments 
will continue to benefit and inspire my constituents.
