                   TRIBUTE TO ART AND SANDY GINSBURG

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 20, 1999

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to my good 
friends, Art and Sandy Ginsburg. Art and Sandy are the owners of Art's, 
one of the best delicatessens in Los Angeles. In addition to their 
skills as restaurateurs, Art and Sandy are known for their dedication 
to assisting others. They never seem too busy to help another worthy 
cause, or to provide much-needed support to another outstanding 
organization.
  This year, Art and Sandy Ginsburg are being honored by Women's 
American ORT, in recognition of their service and generosity over many 
years. Sandy, in fact, has been a member of Women's American ORT for 34 
years! The Ginsburgs are committed to ORT's goal of providing technical 
training to students around the world and preparing them for good jobs 
in the emerging global economy. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, 
and teenagers have benefited from the education provided by ORT 
schools.
  Closer to home, the Ginsburgs are tireless in their support of the 
activities of the Jewish community. They have helped to establish a 
program at Temple Beth Hillel that has integrated disabled and 
handicapped people into the mainstream of Jewish life and Art's 
Delicatessen has consistently provided food for the Shabbat dinners 
that are sponsored by this program.
  Art and Sandy's generosity extends to other programs and 
organizations as well. Art's Deli donates food to Chandler House, which 
provides alcohol rehab services, and also participates in a program 
that feeds the poor and homeless throughout the Southern California 
area. Art has also served his community as Vice President/Board of 
Directors of the Studio City Improvement Association and as a member of 
the Board of Directors of the Studio City Chamber of Commerce.
  As the parents of three grown children, Art and Sandy have also spent 
a good portion of their lives helping such organizations as the Girl 
Scouts, as well as a variety of schools in the San Fernando Valley. 
They contributed to the athletic program at Grant High School, and to 
this day they invite kids from a local junior high school to tour the 
Delicatessen as part of a careers program.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Art and Sandy Ginsburg, 
devoted parents and grandparents, successful business people, and great 
friends of our community. Their altruism and compassion inspire us all.
