                        IN HONOR OF DAVID SABLE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 1, 2004

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, the adage if you want something done ask a 
busy person to do it was never more true than in the case of David 
Sable. For more than 20 years he has been busy in marketing 
communications, becoming vice chair and president of Wunderman's 
worldwide operations.
  But there is another side of Mr. Sable, one which led the Riverdale 
Jewish Center to honor him at their 50th anniversary celebration, a 
decision they said wasn't particularly difficult.
  He was raised in Riverdale from early childhood, the son of the 
founding Rabbi of the Riverdale Jewish Center. He has served the RJC 
with extraordinary tenure as President and is currently the Chair of 
the Board of Trustees. He is, in their words, understanding of the RJC 
past, an integral part of its present, and a source of confidence for 
its future.
  He also has served his community in a larger sense, as a member of 
New York City's Cultural Advisory Committee and a member of the 
steering committee for the Mail Industry Task Force of the United 
States Post Office.
  His love for Israel is well known. With the breakout of the Yom 
Kippur war, he joined the Israeli Defense Force as a combat medic. He 
is a member of the Board of the Tzfat Foundation. He has also served 
the RJC as Youth Director and Vice President.
  A celebration of the Riverdale Jewish Center without David Sable 
would not be a true celebration. I congratulate him and the RJC for all 
the good work both have accomplished in Riverdale and beyond.
