minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Young Israel of 
Scarsdale, the dynamic, modern orthodox synagogue that draws 
congregants from New Rochelle and Scarsdale, reflecting an active 
community of faith and service.
  It is led by spiritual leader Senior Rabbi Jonathan Morgenstern, with 
his past service as a teacher and administrator at Westchester Day 
School. He holds degrees in economics and counseling as well as 
religious ordination. He is ably assisted by Associate Rabbi Nuriel 
Klinger.
  The synagogue's lay leadership team is exemplary, as well: Board 
Chair Melissa Schwechter, President Ari Weinberger, Executive Vice 
President Daniel Essner, and a team of volunteer board members, 
including Sisterhood Co-Presidents Lauren Ganz and Micole Weitzman.
  YIS has an energetic schedule of Shabbat worship services, prayer 
groups, Torah study, education and activities for youth and teens, and 
a social gathering that links the congregants--notably on April 26, the 
54th anniversary gala event celebrating the founding of the shul.
  From the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, I salute Young 
Israel of Scarsdale for their 54 years of faith and commitment to their 
community.
