uals who devote themselves to the welfare of the community and its citi-
zenry; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to honor

strated extreme competence, exceptional intelligence and diligent lead-
ership in their unwavering service to their community and Yeshiva Degel
Hatorah and subsequently have been designated for this most prestigious
honor; and
WHEREAS, Rabbi Shraga Soloveitchik is a well-known Monsey personality,
following in the footsteps of his grandfather who was a beloved Rabbi in
Spring Valley for many years; his grandmother, a woman of stature in her
own right, was a master educator for some 50 years at the Bais Yaakov of
Monsey; and

been with Yeshiva Degel Hatorah for over a decade; the commitment he

two children attending Yeshiva Degel Hatorah; and
WHEREAS, Rabbi and Mrs. Shraga Soloveitchik have been called upon to
contribute their time and talents to countless endeavors on behalf of
Yeshiva Degel Hatorah and have always given of themselves unstintingly;
and
WHEREAS, Throughout the entire period of their community service, a
period of constructive involvement, Rabbi and Mrs. Shraga Soloveitchik
have stood constant in dignity, good grace and humor; and
WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by individuals
for the benefit of others which Rabbi and Mrs. Shraga Soloveitchik have
displayed throughout their lives; and

enhance the well-being and vitality of their community and have shown a
long and sustained commitment to excellence certainly have earned the
recognition and applause of all the citizens of this great Empire State;
now, therefore, be it
