                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 16, 2012

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Dr. Stanley Goodman 
and Mrs. Pearl Goodman for their years of exemplary service to the 
South Florida Jewish community. Their accomplishments are truly a cause 
for celebration, and it is a privilege to represent them in the United 
States Congress.
  Since becoming members of the South Florida community in 1961, The 
Goodmans have been tireless advocates for Israel, and have joined 
countless organizations like The Hillel of Broward and Pam Beach to 
promote the welfare of Jewish people across the globe. During their 58 
years of marriage, the couple has instituted mentoring programs, as 
well as networks through universities in Broward and Palm Beach that 
allow young students to engage with the larger Jewish community. In 
addition, Both Dr. and Mrs. Goodman have served on the Board of the 
Jewish Family Services of Broward County and are actively involved in 
the award-winning David Posnak Jewish Day School where Dr. Goodman is 
an Honorary Vice-President.
  But the Goodman family's service extends beyond the scope of creating 
a more inclusive, informed Jewish community, and includes a commitment 
to fostering artistic enrichment in South Florida. Dr. Goodman has 
served as Secretary for the Executive Committee at the Broward Center 
for the Performing Arts Foundation, and Mrs. Goodman is an avid 
supporter of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Foundation.
  The South Florida Jewish community has undoubtedly been strengthened 
by the Goodmans exceptional work. They are truly a source of 
inspiration for all those who have dedicated themselves to promoting 
Jewish causes, and I look forward to their continued good work.
  Congratulations to Stanley and Pearl Goodman, and well as their 
children and grandchildren, as they celebrate this well deserved honor.
