                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 5, 2018

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is important that we acknowledge and 
celebrate the efforts of those who selflessly work to better their 
communities. Samantha and Daniel Wiener, the recipients of the Hebrew 
Institute of Riverdale--more commonly referred to as the Bayit--Young 
Leadership Award, are two such people.
  Samantha and Daniel are dedicated members of the Bayit who have been 
active in many important behind-the-scenes efforts on behalf of their 
shul.
  They both bring their unique professional backgrounds into their 
involvement in the shul. Samantha's background in early childhood 
education, with extensive knowledge and expertise in educating young 
children, and Daniel's work in real estate, have impacted the areas of 
volunteerism that they have chosen to connect with at the Bayit. Daniel 
also serves on the executive committee, and he, Samantha and their 
children--Akiva, Tehila, and Liliya--are regular attendees at Tot 
Shabbat and supporters of the Youth Department.
  Samantha and Daniel see what needs to be done at shul, step up, and 
offer their time and help without waiting to be asked.
  This family's tireless efforts and spirit of volunteerism are 
exemplary. They are fitting recipients for the Young Leadership Award, 
and it is my hope that the youth of the Bayit will heed their examples. 
Congratulations to Samantha and Daniel on this well-deserved honor.
