Mr. YOUNG of Florida. Madam Speaker, our guest chaplain today is Rabbi Jacob Luski of Congregation B’Nai Israel in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Rabbi Luski is a longtime friend and constituent and one of our commu- nity’s most respected religious leaders. He has served his congregation faith- fully for 32 years and is an important leader in a number of community organizations, including serving as a Jewish chaplain ministering to our vet- erans for the last 20 years at the Veterans Medical Center at Bay Pines.
Madam Speaker, Rabbi Luski is a 1971 graduate of Georgia Tech with a bachelor of science degree in industrial management. He went on to the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City and was ordained there in 1977, and he earned his doctorate of divinity degree there in 2003.
Something very interesting about Rabbi Luski: He was born in Havana, Cuba, on November 2, 1949, which makes him, in just a couple of days, 60 years old. But he left Cuba 50 years ago at the age of 10 and came to the United States with his family. Rabbi Luski has with him this morning his mother, his father, and his sister.
Madam Speaker, it is an honor for me to welcome Rabbi Luski to the House this morning, along with his wife, Joanne, and one of his four chil- dren, Rachel.
Thank you for your inspiring life story, Rabbi, and for your devotion to your synagogue and to the people of our community and for your friendship of many, many years.
