Madam Speaker. I rise to congratulate the Congregation Bnai Israel on its 150th anniversary in Little Rock. Established at the close of the Civil War. Bnai Israel was founded by Jewish immigrants in the United States. Over the past decades. Jewish immigrants have enhanced our State and our Nation. including the first Jewish Federal judge in the United States. Judge Jacob Trieber. Bnai Israel was a founding member of the Union for Reform Judaism and is the home for Reform Judaism in central Arkansas. The congregation has a strong link to the American civil rights movement and has embraced diversity and inclusiveness in actions and words.
