“Mr. Speaker, it is truly a high honor to have Rabbi Levi Slonim as our guest chaplain today. Rabbi Slonim codirects Chabad Downtown in Binghamton, New York, alongside his wife, Hadasa, and is also the director of development at the Rohr Chabad Center for Jewish Student Life at Binghamton University. His faith journey began as a child in Binghamton when his parents, guided by the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, established a Chabad presence there in 1985. What started in a modest one-bedroom apartment has grown into a thriving hub that welcomes over 1,500 students each semester. Rabbi Slonim's work has also taken him across the globe, providing programming in the United States and communities across Europe. Since returning to Binghamton in 2008, he has initiated impactful programs like the Binghamton JGC, the Listen Up mental health fellowship, and has led over 800 students on birthright trips to Israel. We welcome Rabbi Levi Slonim and thank him for being here today. We thank him for his leadership. We thank him for his strong faith, and we thank him for being a light in a sometimes dark world. His dedication to faith, education, and community service is an inspiration to us all. We thank him for joining us this morning. ____________________”
