“Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to welcome Rabbi Mendy Deitsch from Chandler, Arizona, as he just led us in a wonderful opening prayer. Rabbi Deitsch, a Brooklyn native, founded Chabad of the East Valley more than 25 years ago as a center for Jewish life in our fast-growing community in Arizona District Four. When Rabbi Deitsch was first getting started, he led services from his living room. Now, he leads a center for Jewish life for over 300 families. Rabbi Deitsch and his wife have built a community rooted in the Jewish value of tzedakah. Together, they founded and operate two nonprofits, the Comfort Food Pantry and the Community Tuition Grant Organization, to help low-income families. His presence here today reminds each of us in this room that we have a God-given purpose to love and care for our neighbors. May the rabbi's beautiful words that we just heard remain with us as we take up our work for the day. ____________________”
