                    TRIBUTE TO RABBI DR. ARI BERMAN

  Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Mr. President, today I share my 
gratitude with Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University, 
for his prayer for the Senate and for our country.
  Faith and education together have been powerful forces for good in 
America. That truth is reflected in the mission of Yeshiva University, 
which joins knowledge with character by preparing young men and women 
to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and strengthen their 
communities.
  At a time of rising anti-Semitism on college campuses after the 
October 7 attack on Israel, Rabbi Berman founded a coalition of more 
than 100 university presidents--leaders united against terrorism and 
hate.
  For more than a century, Yeshiva has shown that true education does 
more than expand the mind. It shapes character, builds responsibility, 
and equips the next generation to meet the challenges of their time.
  I also want to give special recognition to my friend Anita Zucker for 
her dedication as a trustee of Yeshiva University, for her service to 
South Carolina, and for her commitment to education that strengthens 
our country.
  May Rabbi Berman's words in the Senate Chamber, and Yeshiva's mission 
every day, continue to inspire faith, courage, and hope for the future 
of America.
