                      Thursday, November 30, 2017

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome Temple 
Torat Emet's new Rabbi, David Siff, to the South Florida community.
  Rabbi Siff has been an inspiration to Jewish communities across the 
country, from South Carolina to Philadelphia, and now he joins us here 
in Boynton Beach. Since receiving his rabbinic ordination in 2006 and a 
Ph.D. in Jewish Philosophy in 2009, both from the Jewish Theological 
Seminary in New York City, he has cultivated a culture of warmth and 
inclusiveness for everyone in the community. Rabbi Siff has been key in 
developing Shabbat and holiday programming that engages families with 
young children, promoting a vibrant and hopeful future for the American 
Jewish community. His dedication to Tikkun Olam, or repairing the 
world, will be a great asset to the Temple and to South Florida.
  Temple Torat Emet and the rest of the Jewish community of South 
Florida is lucky to have Rabbi Siff, and I'd like to join them in 
extending him a warm welcome.
