                       Thursday, October 12, 2017

  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following 
Proclamation:
  Whereas, Temple Beth El was founded in 1939 as Madison, Wisconsin's 
first and only Reform Jewish congregation; and
  Whereas, Rabbi Jonathan Biatch has been the spiritual leader 
supporting the vision and mission of Temple Beth El since 2004; and
  Whereas, boys celebrate Bar Mitzvah when turning 13; and
  Whereas the Temple Beth El community proclaims Rabbi Jonathan Biatch 
a ``Bar Mitzvah'' celebrating his 13th year of service,
  Now, therefore, I congratulate Rabbi Jonathan Biatch on his 13 years 
of leadership at Temple Beth El.
