           WELCOME TO RABBI ELY J. ROSENZVEIG AND HIS FAMILY

  (Mrs. LOWEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to welcome Rabbi Ely 
Rosenzveig to the United States House of Representatives. A spiritual 
and moral leader of the New Rochelle community, Rabbi Rosenzveig brings 
honor to this body, just as he does to his own congregation. Rabbi 
Rosenzveig joins us from Congregation Anshe Sholom with his family, his 
four out of five children, with his in-laws, his parents and 40 members 
of the synagogue.
  The synagogue celebrates its 105th birthday next week. Anshe Sholom 
has doubled in size during the past 5 years, ensuring that it continues 
to be one of the anchor congregations of Westchester County.
  Rabbi Rosenzveig is a remarkable man, the son of Rabbi Charles and 
Helen Rosenzveig, both Holocaust survivors. His father, who is here 
with us today, came straight from a hospital bed; is a leader of the 
Holocaust Remembrance Movement. Like his son, the elder Rabbi 
Rosenzveig demonstrates that spiritual greatness is heightened by 
worldly activism.

                              {time}  1030

  A master of economics and student of Talmud, an accomplished lawyer 
and dedicated Rabbi, a community leader and devoted father, Rabbi 
Rosenzveig has excelled in all facets of life. More important than his 
accomplishments, however, is the love he has for his five wonderful 
children, for his wife, and the model he sets not only for his 
congregation, but for the entire community around him.
  A leader with warmth and respect for all people, Rabbi Rosenzveig 
teaches by example and lives by the ideal that our actions mean more 
than words. His presence here today and the large following that has 
come to hear him speak bear witness to that belief.
  It is my distinct pleasure to welcome Rabbi Ely Rosenzveig to the 
Congress of the United States.
