                      WELCOMING RABBI EVAN HOFFMAN

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from New York (Mr. 
Engel) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank my dear friend and 
constituent, Rabbi Evan Hoffman, for giving the opening prayer today.
  Rabbi Hoffman has led Congregation Anshe Sholom in New Rochelle, New 
York, since 2012. He graduated Yeshiva College summa cum laude, where 
he received ordination from Rabbi Isaac Elchanan's Theological 
Seminary.
  Rabbi Hoffman is an accomplished author, writing the weekly essay 
series titled ``Thoughts on the Parashah,'' as well as the editor of 
English language publications for Talmud Israeli.
  Rabbi Hoffman was raised in Great Neck, New York, and is an avid New 
York Mets fan. Rabbi Hoffman and his wife, Sari, are the proud parents 
of two wonderful children, Eliyahu and Elana.
  Madam Speaker, I thank my friend for the wonderful prayer this 
morning.
