             HONORING CANTOR MARTHA NOVICK FOR HER SERVICE

  (Mr. MALINOWSKI asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. MALINOWSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Cantor Martha 
Novick, who for the last 36 years has filled Temple Emanu-El, in 
Westfield, New Jersey, with her warmth and her voice.
  Over the years, she has brought hundreds of students to Washington, 
D.C., to introduce them to social justice, advocacy, and action.
  She has performed leading roles for the Metropolitan Opera 
Association and the National Shakespeare Theatre and has appeared as a 
soloist with the Jerusalem Symphony, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, and the 
Westfield Symphony.
  Cantor Novick is a performer and an innovator, creating the Shabbat 
Hallelu worship service, which has become a national model, and working 
tirelessly to find a balance between traditional and modern musical 
styles of worship.
  We are grateful to Cantor Novick for all she has done and for her 
commitment to Temple Emanu-El and its greater community in her new role 
as Cantor Emeritus.
