                        HON. THEODORE E. DEUTCH

                      Thursday, February 28, 2013

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of the 25th Silver 
Anniversary of the Young Israel of Boca Raton, Florida synagogue. I 
would like to recognize them for their service to the Jewish community 
of South Florida and the local community as a whole.
  Founded in 1988, the Young Israel of Boca Raton has served as a 
center of Jewish identity and education for the South Palm Beach County 
community. I want to particularly acknowledge Yakov (Jason) and Ruchie 
Lyons, the special honorees during the Silver Anniversary celebration, 
for their dedication to the synagogue and its emphasis on prayer, 
study, and community service.
  I would like to congratulate the Young Israel of Boca Raton 
synagogue, an extraordinary Jewish community of South Florida, on their 
25th Silver Anniversary. Hopefully, through their example, the Young 
Israel's philosophy and spiritual guidance can extend far beyond South 
Florida.
