                CONGRATULATING HEBREW ACADEMY JUMP TEAM

  (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 would like to congratulate the team 
from Hebrew Academy in South Florida for winning this year's National 
Council of Synagogue Youth JUMP competition.
  Schools across the country were charged with creating events related 
to Israel advocacy, Jewish values, Holocaust remembrance, and bullying 
prevention. Through this competition, students develop and build 
critical aspects of leadership that can be applied throughout their 
lives.
  For their team's winning project, the Hebrew Academy JUMP team 
created an Israel awareness day, developed a bullying awareness week 
and discussion groups about cliques and bullying, and created a 
remembrance project that engaged Holocaust survivors to have their 
stories integrated in their school's Holocaust curriculum.
  I congratulate these impressive students on what they have 
accomplished for our community and for their victory in the national 
competition.
  At this time, Mr. Speaker, I would like to submit into the Record the 
names of the exceptional Hebrew Academy JUMP team members.
  They are students Jackie Olemberg, Alix Klein, Ariela Stein, Jacob 
Mitrani, Ariela Isrealov, Merah Frank, Adina Bronstein, Shane 
Hershkowitz, Madison Emas, Danny Bister; and faculty Rabbi Avi Fried.
