                         IN HONOR OF RUTH HYMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 5, 2017

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize Ruth Hyman, 
who was recently honored by Congregation Brothers of Israel in Long 
Branch, New Jersey for her contributions to the synagogue and the 
greater community.
  Throughout Ms. Hyman's long and vibrant life, she has maintained her 
mission to serve the community. Her work and generosity have been 
recognized by many awards and tributes over the years and it is my 
honor to join with Congregation Brothers of Israel in lauding her 
achievements and philanthropy.
  The daughter of Ida and David Hyman who were founding members of 
Congregation Brothers of Israel, Ruth Hyman has a strong connection to 
the synagogue and remains an active member. Ms. Hyman's commitment to 
the Jewish community extends beyond Congregation Brothers of lsrael 
with her support of Hadassah, the Jewish Community Center, Jewish 
Family and Children's Service and the Visiting Nurse Association Health 
Group's Judaic pastoral care hospice program, among many others.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope my colleagues will join me in thanking 
Ruth Hyman for her immeasurable contributions to the community. Ms. 
Hyman's tireless efforts and dedication to philanthropy are truly 
deserving of this body's recognition.
