  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my dear friend, an 
exceptional leader, Max Robert (Skip) Schrayer for receiving the Julius 
Rosenwald Memorial Award from the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan 
Chicago.
   Skip has been a leader in the Jewish community for much of life, 
holding formal leadership positions within the Jewish United Fund/
Jewish Federation (JUF) for more than 30 years.
   This commitment to strengthening the Jewish community runs deep in 
Skip's heritage as he is the fourth member of his family to receive 
this, JUF's most prestigious award.
   Whether it has been spearheading record fundraising efforts or co-
founding the Nacshon Mission, Skip pours himself into the community and 
exemplifies all of the finest ideals that JUF and the Jewish community 
hold dear. I am grateful for Skip's friendship, and the entire JUF 
community is lucky to have his leadership, vision and drive.
   His work for humanitarian causes and determination to make a 
profound difference at home and around the world are inspiring and help 
galvanize an entire community to action.
   The breadth of Skip's experience, his many leadership roles and 
countless successes, earned him this distinct honor and the gratitude 
of our community.
   Leaders like Skip Schrayer, with their focus and passion, make the 
Jewish community stronger. I congratulate my good friend for receiving 
the Julius Rosenwald Memorial Award, and I look forward to Skip's many 
successes still ahead.
