Mr. President, it is my honor to rise today to pay tribute to Temple Beth Sholom of Las Vegas, as the synagogue and its members celebrate their 80th anniversary during 2026. In 1946, the first Jewish congregation was established in southern Nevada, meeting and worshipping at the Las Vegas Jewish Community Center. As the city of Las Vegas grew in the 1950s, so too did the Jewish community, leading to the construction of the first Temple building, which gave the community a new home to worship in. The congregation formally named it Temple Beth Sholom. Now, 80 years later at its current location in Summerlin, Temple Beth Sholom remains a vibrant and active Jewish congregation hosting daily minyan services and weekly Shabbat services, as well as celebrating life cycle events throughout the year. Education is also a key pillar of Temple Beth Sholom's service to the community, with classroom learning for children of all ages, and active USY and Kadima youth programs as well. More importantly, Temple Beth Sholom serves the Las Vegas Jewish Community through hosting various educational and social events throughout the year, welcoming all of the southern Nevada community to participate.
Elliot Blut, and all of the Temple Beth Sholom congregation and team that keep it running, I join citizens across Nevada and the Nation in sending our sincere congratulations on 80 years of Temple Beth Sholom being a pillar of the Jewish community in southern Nevada and wish them many more years of success.
