                  HONORING NATALY AND STEPHEN NEUWIRTH

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 9, 2014

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, religious institutions such as Young Israel 
of New Rochelle (YINR) play a critical role in ensuring the voices of 
our community's most vulnerable residents do not go unheard, thanks to 
the selfless dedication of individuals like Nataly and Stephen 
Neuwirth. For more than a decade, the Neuwirths have worked to sustain 
a community built on charity, tolerance and empathy.
  Nataly and Stephen are Guests of Honor at Young Israel of New 
Rochelle's 47th Annual Dinner, and observing their dedicated and 
steadfast commitment to community service, it is easy to see why as 
Young Israel of New Rochelle chose to honor this couple.
  The Neuwirths became active members of the New Rochelle community 
immediately after moving to the area 11 years ago. They are the proud 
parents of four sons: Oren, Ely, Benny and Emmanuel. In spite of their 
busy family life, have found time and energy to give back to the 
community they love.
  Law is a demanding profession, yet Stephen has found the time to 
serve on the Young Israel New Rochelle Board of Trustees from 2005 to 
2011 and led recently a successful effort to retire YINR's mezzanine 
loan.
  Nataly has also been a steadfast member of the YINR community. She's 
a generous participant of the Women's League where she prepares meals 
for new mothers, packs YINR's Mischloach Manot and supports the Mikvah 
Bake Sale.
  Nataly and Stephen have also devoted themselves to the cultural 
growth of the New Rochelle community, supporting YINR's shul and 
mikvah, sponsoring and hosting scholars

in residence, and Shabbat onegs. In the past year both Nataly and 
Stephen dedicated the new publication, Chumash Mesoras Harav at YINR.
  Their exceptional devotion, however, is not limited to the New 
Rochelle community. Nataly and Stephen have also given time, support 
and involvement in the important affairs of neighboring communities, 
most notably Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy. The pair has also 
participated in the Jarden Westchester triathlon as members of 
``Skippy's team,'' to raise awareness for the fight against leukemia.
  Nataly and Stephen are exemplary members of the New Rochelle 
community. Their service and dedication is not only admirable, but 
their boundless energy and commitment to furthering causes close to 
them is truly exceptional.
