                         HON. JOSEPH D. MORELLE

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 28, 2024

  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Jewish American 
Heritage Month and to recognize an outstanding individual from 
Rochester, NY, whose contributions have made a lasting impact on our 
local Jewish community: Isobel Goldman
  Isobel Goldman served for 18 years as Director of Community Relations 
at the Jewish Federation. In that capacity, she created and directed 
the Rochester Jewish Coalition for Literacy, which started with six 
volunteers and under her leadership, grew to over 200 people who went 
once a week to Rochester City Schools to assist with students in K-6 
with literacy skills. She also served as the Director of Grants at the 
Max and Marian Farash Charitable Foundation where she started the First 
in Family College Tuition-free program, led Jewish Education 
programming, and started an initiative to help fund scholarships for 
teens hoping to travel to Israel. She has truly embodied the spirit of 
service to others.
  This Jewish American Heritage Month, it is my honor and privilege to 
recognize Isobel Goldman. Her extraordinary legacy has uplifted the 
lives of everyone who calls Rochester home and will continue to inspire 
us all for decades to come.
