WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Rabbi Dov Mandel for 10 years of exceptional service as | ||
leader of the Chabad Lubavitch of Fort Worth and Tarrant County; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Chabad is an acronym for the Hebrew words wisdom, | ||
understanding, and knowledge; the Chabad Lubavitch movement is a | ||
Hasidic branch of Orthodox Judaism whose followers emphasize | ||
mind and emotion and focus on God in daily life; and | ||
WHEREAS, Rabbi Mandel came to Fort Worth in 2002 to lead | ||
one of 3,600 Chabad centers worldwide; through the years, he has | ||
sought to serve as a bridge between the Orthodox, Conservative, | ||
and Reform branches of Judaism and to help Jews make their faith a | ||
central part of their daily lives; and | ||
WHEREAS, Rabbi Mandel is in much demand throughout the area | ||
as a speaker, and he leads classes at the center on such topics as | ||
implementing lasting change and bridging the gap between faith | ||
and reason; and | ||
WHEREAS, In addition to his work at Chabad Lubavitch of | ||
Fort Worth and Tarrant County, Rabbi Mandel has brought a greater | ||
understanding of Judaism to people of all faiths in the | ||
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and he is truly deserving of | ||
recognition for his many achievements; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Rabbi Dov Mandel | ||
for his outstanding contributions to the community and extend to | ||
him best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
