                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 17, 2011

  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, 2011 marks the 50th Anniversary of the 
Founding of Congregation Ner Tamid of South Bay in my congressional 
district. People of all faiths from throughout the South Bay area of 
Los Angeles are conveying heartfelt congratulations to all the members 
and friends of Congregation Ner Tamid on this most auspicious occasion. 
For five decades Congregation Ner Tamid has upheld a faith-inspired 
tradition of service in both the South Bay region and beyond. The 
Congregation's programs for youth, families and seniors cast a bright 
light of human dignity and compassion across our community.
  I also offer a special expression of our esteem to those being 
honored for their unique and sustaining contributions to Ner Tamid's 
work in our communities. The people of the South Bay are indebted to 
the distinguished 50th Anniversary honorees; Ruth & Leo David, Sheil 
Poucher, Mark Simon and Norm Lefkowich. Each of them deservedly 
receives the profoundly meaningful recognition of a grateful synagogue 
family and the community of which Congregation Ner Tamid is such an 
important part.
  The dedicated social responsibility these honorees exemplify is 
replicated in a hundred programs and projects the rest of the temple 
members pursue. That is why Congregation Ner Tamid enjoys a valued and 
respected place in the life and culture of the South Bay region we are 
fortunate enough to call home.
  So, it is with our best wishes that Congregation Ner Tamid of South 
Bay celebrates their 50th anniversary on March 12, 2011. I am sure the 
great legacy they have created in these first 50 years will only be 
stronger and more enduring on the occasion of the Congregation's 100th 
anniversary!
