  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rabbi Laurence 
Malinger on his 25 years of rabbinical service. Rabbi Malinger is a 
respected leader of Temple Shalom in Aberdeen, New Jersey as well as 
the greater community. His contributions are truly deserving of this 
body's recognition.
  Rabbi Malinger has served as senior rabbi of Temple Shalom since 1999 
and continues to support the Temple's mission of religious education 
and guidance, social action and community service. He is a trusted 
confidant to his congregation and an inspiring spiritual leader.
  Prior to his service at Temple Shalom, Rabbi Malinger was Associate 
Rabbi of Congregation Beth Emeth in Delaware after serving the 
Congregation for four years as Assistant Rabbi and Director of 
Education. He has earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied 
Mathematics, a Master of Education with School Psychology, a Master of 
Arts in Hebrew Letters and most recently was awarded an Honorary Doctor 
of Divinity for his dedicated years of service.
  A devoted man of faith and community involvement, Rabbi Malinger is 
engaged with various organizations and issues, including the Central 
Conference of American Rabbis, the Bayshore Ministerium, the Jewish 
Federation of Monmouth County's Jewish Addiction Resource and Garden 
State Equality, among others.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating Rabbi Malinger on his 25 years of rabbinical service and 
thanking him for his many years of outstanding leadership to Temple 
Shalom and the community.
