                        RECOGNIZING JOY GETNICK

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JOSEPH D. MORELLE

                              of new york

                    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 exemplary individual from Rochester, 
NY, who is making a profound impact on our Jewish community: Joy 
Getnick.
  Joy Getnick serves as the Executive Director of the University of 
Rochester Hillel. She has quietly but powerfully done vital work over 
these last several months guiding our young students, particularly with 
the rise of antisemitism on campus and throughout society. She is an 
educator and leader not just on campus, but across all of Rochester. 
Joy is also the founding director of Camp Seneca Lake in Israel, a 
summer Israel program for teens. Her commitment to uplifting and 
mentoring students is helping to shape the next generation of leaders, 
and her legacy will live on through each of the lives she has touched.
  Jewish American History Month is the perfect opportunity to recognize 
and honor our local Jewish neighbors who are working diligently to make 
our community a better place. I can think of no better example than Joy 
Getnick, and I commend her for her many accomplishments.
