  RECOGNIZING GREATER MIAMI JEWISH FEDERATION AND MICHAEL-ANN RUSSEL 
                        JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the Greater 
Miami Jewish Federation and the Michael-Ann Russel Jewish Community 
Center to commend them for their efforts on the Interfaith Solidarity 
with Israel rally which recently took place in my home district of 
Miami.
  I want to especially thank Rachel Sapoznik, international division 
chairwoman from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Fanny Hanono and 
Avy Weberman from the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center for 
their tireless efforts in making this rally a giant success. The event 
included a variety of speakers from different religious denominations, 
parochial schools, youth groups and community organizations.
  The rally provided an opportunity for folks to voice their support 
for the State of Israel and gave them specific information on the 
different ways that they can help both of our countries fight the 
international war on terrorism.
  I want to especially thank those organizers of the Interfaith 
Solidarity with Israel rally for uniting our community in its support 
for this embattled country.
