                      WELCOMING RABBI SETH FRISCH

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from Rhode 
Island (Mr. Cicilline) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CICILLINE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to welcome Rabbi Seth 
Frisch, who delivered today's opening prayer to the people's House.
  Since his ordination in 1986, at the Jewish Theological Seminary of 
America in New York, Rabbi Frisch has been a source of comfort and 
counsel to Jews around the world. In his current posting as rabbi and 
teacher of the New Shul of Philadelphia, Rabbi Frisch helps serve as a 
guide for those who want to learn more about what it means to be Jewish 
in a safe and supporting setting.
  In a way, today's opening prayer was a homecoming for Rabbi Frisch, 
who previously served as a legislative assistant to the chairman of the 
United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
  I pray that we will all heed his words today, that out of many, we 
are one Nation. Let us strive to put our divisions behind us and 
realize our dream of a country indivisible with liberty and justice for 
all.
