Welcoming Cantor Dr. Joel Gluck

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MAGAZINER. Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased to introduce Cantor Dr. Joel Gluck of Rhode Island, who delivered today's opening prayer for the House of Representatives. I could not think of someone better to open today's session, especially ahead of the Jewish high holidays later this month.

Cantor Gluck is a committed member of the Rhode Island community. A native of Warwick, Rhode Island, he serves as spiritual leader of United Brothers Synagogue in my hometown of Bristol, and as artistic director of the Shireinu, the Jewish Community Chorus of Temple Sinai, in Cranston, Rhode Island.

His leadership expands beyond his faith and is recognized by others in Rhode Island. He teaches anatomy and physiology at Cranston High School West and the Community College of Rhode Island, where he is president of the Part-Time Faculty Association.

I am proud to represent Rhode Island's Second Congressional District in Congress and to call Cantor Gluck a constituent.

Mr. Speaker, I wish our Jewish neighbors in Rhode Island and across the country a meaningful holiday season.
