                         Thursday, June 8, 2017

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding contributions of Rabbi Michael C. Simon to the Jewish 
community and the South Florida community at large.
  For thirteen years, Temple Beth Kodesh in Boynton Beach, Florida has 
been blessed by Rabbi Simon's wisdom and leadership. Thirteen is a 
spiritually meaningful number in Judaism, repeated numerous times 
throughout the Torah, oral law, and liturgy. I would like to join the 
congregation in celebrating Rabbi Simon's milestone.
  In addition to his leadership of the congregation, Rabbi Simon is the 
author of a book that focuses on Jewish life from a variety of 
different perspectives, and is an Adjunct Professor of Rabbinics at 
Gratz College and an Adjunct Professor of Jewish History at Florida 
Atlantic University.
  I congratulate Rabbi Simon and his family for their exemplary service 
to the Jewish community in South Florida, and wish them many years of 
health and happiness.
