  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, a life dedicated to serving the public good 
is not only noble, it is inspirational. Hadassah Lieberman's life, 
spent working on everything from health issues to educational 
improvement, is one of those tremendous inspirations.
  Hadassah's reach and influence has extended from the Riverdale 
neighborhood all the way out to the international community. Born in 
the Czech Republic, Hadassah and her family left Eastern Europe in 1949 
for Massachusetts. A graduate of Boston University, Hadassah earned a 
degree in Government and Dramatics and later received a Masters Degree 
in International Relations and American Government at Northeastern 
University.
  Her studies and interests steered her to a host of organizations 
dedicated to serving the public good. Currently, Hadassah is on the 
board of Open University and is a former Global Ambassador with Susan 
G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest network of breast cancer 
survivors and activists. She developed an Advisory Network for Women's 
Health to promote awareness and prevention of heart disease, and is a 
former Director of HFL & Associates, a firm dedicated to expanding 
domestic and international awareness of nonprofit organizations.
  Hadassah has also dedicated a tremendous amount of time to community 
service through her work with Meridian House, the Auschwitz Jewish 
Center Foundation, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.
  Hadassah's true pride and joy though is her family; her husband, 
former Senator Joe Lieberman, their four children, and ten 
grandchildren. Since returning to Riverdale with Joe, Hadassah has 
experienced the great warmth of the Chabad community, and has had an 
active role in its growth and promotion. I am proud to not only count 
Hadassah and Joe as constituents but to also call them friends.
  Chabad of Riverdale is honoring Hadassah at this year's celebration 
dinner. I want to congratulate her on this wonderful honor.
