             WELCOMING GUEST CHAPLAIN RABBI PINCHUS CIMENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from 
Arkansas (Mr. Hill) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome today's 
guest chaplain, my friend, Rabbi Pinchus Ciment.
  Rabbi Ciment is the director of Chabad Lubavitch of Arkansas in 
Little Rock and is currently the longest serving rabbi in our State.
  He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and moved to Little Rock with 
his wife in 1992.
  Rabbi Ciment has lectured on matters in Judaism at several 
universities in Arkansas and has been a frequent author in the ``Ask 
the Clergy'' section of our statewide newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat-
Gazette. He studied at the Rabbinical Seminary in Morristown, New 
Jersey, and the Central Lubavitch Yeshiva in Brooklyn, New York, 
receiving his rabbinical ordination in 1990.
  Rabbi Ciment is a devoted husband to Estie and a proud father of 10 
children.
  I extend my heartfelt thanks to Rabbi Ciment for delivering a 
beautiful opening prayer.

  Mr. Speaker, I wish him, his family, and Chabad Lubavitch of Arkansas 
continued success in serving the central Arkansas community.
