Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center as it holds its Prom-Night Tribute- Dinner on Thursday, June 2. During this joyous celebration, leaders of the Michael-Ann Russell JCC will be recognized for their contributions to improving the lives of the Jewish community in south Florida. The honorees are: Gary Bomzer, who serves as the president and CEO of this wonderful organization; Paul Kruss, who serves as the chair of the board of directors; and Ariel Bentata and Jeffrey Scheck, who were past chairs. Founded in 1987, the Michael-Ann Russell JCC has been committed to not only strengthening Jewish values in south Florida, but it has also dedicated time and resources to educating our future leaders and fostering a strong relationship with our ally, the democratic Jewish State of Israel. I am thankful to witness the growth of the Jewish American community in our area as its members continue to strive for a better and more prosperous tomorrow. Mazel tov to the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center on a job well done. ____________________
