                      RECOGNIZING RABBI JON CUTLER

  (Ms. HOULAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HOULAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Rabbi Jon Cutler 
on his retirement after 11 years of service as Rabbi of Beth Israel 
Congregation in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
  Rabbi Cutler has devoted his life to faith, to service, and to caring 
for others.
  Ordained by the Reconstruction Rabbinical College, he has spent 
decades guiding congregations, counseling families, and strengthening 
our community.
  He also has served our Nation with distinction for more than 30 years 
as a Navy chaplain in the Navy Reserves, retiring with the rank of 
captain.
  During his military service, Rabbi Cutler ministered to 
servicemembers and civilians through some of our country's most 
difficult moments, including Desert Storm, the aftermath of September 
11 at the Pentagon, and deployments to Iraq and East Africa.
  Since joining Beth Israel in 2015, Rabbi Cutler has led with 
compassion, inclusivity, and a deep commitment to interfaith 
understanding.
  On behalf of Pennsylvania's Sixth District, I thank Rabbi Cutler for 
his extraordinary service to both our Nation and our community, and I 
wish him and his family all the best in his retirement.
