                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. JAMES A. HIMES

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 19, 2022

  Mr. HIMES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Barry S. Sternlicht for his tireless work on behalf of Congregation 
Agudath Sholom. His devotion to the congregational family at Agudath 
Sholom, the local Jewish community in Stamford and to the well-being of 
Jews worldwide is nothing short of inspiring. The community of 
southwestern Connecticut is stronger, richer and more inclusive because 
of the work that he does.
  It is my unique honor to recognize Barry for his unyielding 
dedication and outstanding philanthropic contributions to his 
congregation. With Barry's generosity, Congregation Agudath Sholom 
restored its synagogue and in doing so, helped spread the core Jewish 
value ofrepairing the world. Barry's commitment to preserving the 
beauty of Agudath Sholom in the spirit of his father exemplifies a core 
tenet of Judaism: L'dor V'dor, from generation to generation.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you and my colleagues join me in 
congratulating Barry on his immense accomplishments.
