The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Alaska.
Rabbi Mendy Greenberg
Mr. SULLIVAN. Madam President, thank you for allowing me to open the
Senate with you. It was a true honor to have Rabbi Mendy Greenberg, who
is doing amazing work in Palmer, AK, open the Senate with his very
powerful and meaningful prayer and very appropriate prayer for what is
happening in the world.
I just want to say a little bit about our incredible Jewish community
in Alaska. Rabbi Greenberg's parents are actually up in the Gallery
watching--his father, Rabbi Greenberg and his incredible wife, Esti.
I just want to say what they do for our--community--communities
throughout Alaska--is so powerful, so meaningful, and touches so many
lives way beyond the Jewish community of Alaska--way beyond that
community. I love the phrase referring to our wonderful Jewish
community of Alaska, the ``frozen chosen,'' because it is a little cold
in our State, as most Americans know.
But here is the thing about this community: They are incredible in
terms of bringing all Alaskans together. We have this annual event called the
Jewish Gala that has hundreds and hundreds of Alaskans of all faiths
who participate in this every year. It is one of my favorite things to
do as an Alaskan, to come and celebrate not just the Jewish community,
but the spirit of togetherness, the spirit of faith, and the spirit of
taking care of one another. That is what this incredible community
does, led by both Rabbi Greenbergs, who we saw the younger today give
this very powerful prayer.
I want to thank him and his parents for being here today. It is not
always easy to get to DC from Alaska--a couple of thousand miles at
least. To our Jewish community back home, to the Greenbergs for all
they have done, I just want to, on the Senate floor here, offer my
deepest thanks for the example they set for the entire State of Alaska.
It is great having them here, and what they do for our State is really
powerful, really important.
Thank you, Madam President, for allowing me to participate in the
opening and the prayer this morning.
I yield the floor.
