                     CONGRATULATING RABBI SERNOVITZ

  (Mrs. McBATH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, I am so excited to be here on the floor 
today to congratulate Rabbi Larry Sernovitz on becoming the senior 
rabbi of Temple Kol Emeth in Marietta, Georgia.
  In just the few short months that I have known the rabbi, he has been 
instrumental in helping to spread our shared message of God's love for 
all people and tikkun olam.
  ``Tikkun olam'' translates to ``repair of the world,'' and I know 
that, together, our community in Georgia will help build bridges to a 
better and more just tomorrow.
  I congratulate the rabbi on his new mission from God. Our community 
is blessed to have been gifted a leader like him.
  I hope that, if he or his congregation ever need assistance from my 
office, they don't hesitate to call upon us. I truly look forward to 
working with the rabbi and the Jewish community in Georgia for many 
years to come, and I wish them all a happy and blessed Hannukah season.
