                      Wednesday, November 12, 2014

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Ruth Hyman on 
the occasion of her 95th birthday this year. I would like to join with 
her family and friends in honoring her remarkable accomplishments and 
philanthropy.
  Born and raised in Long Branch, New Jersey, Ruth Hyman continues to 
give back to the community. At a young age, Ms. Hyman recognized the 
meaning of generosity and has spent her life working to make a 
difference in the world. Her achievements are numerous, wide-ranging 
and noteworthy, from serving in the federal government to opening her 
own small business. She has been actively involved with various 
organizations, including the Long Branch Hadassah, Deborah Hospital, 
Jewish Family and Children's Services, the Jewish Community Center, and 
Congregation of Brothers of Israel. She is also a life member of 
Daughters of Miriam and the Central Jersey Jewish Home for the Aged. 
Ms. Hyman is an esteemed member of the Jewish community and a 
passionate philanthropist.
  Ms. Hyman's impact on the community has not gone unnoticed. The 
Chabad House at Rutgers University presented her with the Kesser Shem 
Tov (Crown of a Good Name) award and she was named Philanthropist of 
the Year from Generations ElderCare Charity, among many other honors.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Ruth Hyman on her 95th 
birthday. I know that I join with all those who know her in expressing 
my sincere gratitude for her warm and giving nature and immeasurable 
contributions to our community. Her leadership and spirit of generosity 
are truly admirable.
