   CONGRATULATING RAQUEL EGOZI BEHAR ON BEING RECOGNIZED AS THE 2010 
           MOTHER OF THE YEAR BY MIAMI JEWISH HEALTH SYSTEMS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Raquel 
Egozi Behar, a great member of the South Florida community and a dear 
friend.
  Next month Raquel will be recognized by the Miami Jewish Health 
Systems as the 2010 Mother of the Year. Her dedication and selfless 
service to the Latin Auxiliary and the Miami Jewish Health Systems have 
been exceptional. It is a testament to her character and her sense of 
community.
  Raquel has also worked with the Miami Jewish Health Systems music

therapy program. Despite all of her community service and engagement, 
the role she cherishes most of all is that of being a mother and a 
grandmother. Her values and her principles have inspired her loved 
ones.
  Her daughter, Luisa, has become an active member of the Latin 
Auxiliary, serving on its board and her grandson, Max, has also become 
involved with the Auxiliary and the Miami Jewish Health Systems.
  Raquel and her wonderful family are truly examples of L'dor V'dor, 
from generation to generation. I am proud to call Raquel a friend and 
South Florida is fortunate to have her.
  Congratulations, Raquel, on this award.
