  Mr. MRVAN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect and admiration that 
I rise today to congratulate the Indiana Jewish Historical Society as 
the organization celebrates its 50th anniversary. In honor of this 
momentous occasion, I would like to take the time to honor the Jewish 
community in the state of Indiana and to commemorate the organization's 
mission of historic preservation.
  The Indiana Jewish Historical Society is a non-profit organization 
that works to collect and safeguard historical Jewish records, 
documents. photographs, and other pertinent materials related to the 
history of Jewish people throughout the state. Through exhibits, 
educational programs, publications, and a yearly podcast, the 
organization continues to share the story of Indiana's Jewish community 
with the public. As our society faces increasing division and 
intolerance, the Indiana Jewish Historical Society seeks to promote 
understanding and to celebrate diversity. For its remarkable 
contributions to preserving Jewish history and culture throughout the 
state of Indiana and beyond, the Indiana Jewish Historical Society is 
to be commended.
  At this time, I would like to acknowledge the leadership and Board of 
Directors consisting of members from throughout the state of Indiana. 
The Executive Director is Michael Brown, and the Board of Directors 
includes Kevin Krulewitch, Barbara Goldman, Lori Katz, Larry Adelman, 
Alan Gilbert, Trent D. Pendley, Elaine Zuckerman, John Planer, Sheila 
Greenwald, Kevin Corn, Mike Wolinsky, Isabel Silverman, Alex Feldman, 
Tory Schendel-Vyvoda, and Steven Bulloff.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues 
join me in congratulating the Indiana Jewish Historical Society on its 
50th anniversary. The work of this truly admirable organization is a 
great asset to the people of Indiana, and the leaders and members are 
worthy of the highest praise.
