                 HONORING TEMPLE SINAI IN SANDY SPRINGS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KAREN C. HANDEL

                               of georgia

  Mrs. HANDEL. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Temple Sinai 
in Sandy Springs, Georgia.
  For 50 years now, Temple Sinai has served the reform Jewish community 
in Atlanta, Georgia.
  In February of 1968, thirty people sat in on a meeting to discuss the 
formation of a Reform Jewish congregation in Atlanta. One month later, 
145 families signed on as chapter members.
  Today, 50 years since that first meeting, over 1,300 Georgians 
proudly call Temple Sinai home.
  Senior Rabbi Ron Segal has been a member of the clergy at Temple 
Sinai since July 1996. As a board member of the Atlanta chapter of the 
American Jewish Committee and as an advisory board member of the 
William Breman Jewish Home, Rabbi Segal has shown a commitment to our 
city that extends well beyond the perimeter of Temple Sinai.
  Mr. Speaker, Temple Sinai will have served our community for a full 
half century this February, and they continue to go above and beyond in 
their service to their neighbors.
  From offering educational opportunities to serving as a center of 
Jewish life in Atlanta, I want to wish Temple Sinai 50 more years of 
continued success as a pillar of the Jewish community in Atlanta.
