HON. DEBBIE STABENOW of Michiganin the House of Representatives Thursday, March 19, 1998

Ms. STABENOW.

Mr. Speaker.

I wish to recognize the service of a very special individual, Cantor Bruce Wetzler of Congregation Shaarey Zedek in East Lansing. After 39 years, Canton Wetzler will be retiring.Cantor Wetzler graduated from the Hebrew High School of Congregation Tikvoh Chadoshoh in New York City. He then attended Yeshivah University Cantorial Institute and the Jewish Theological Seminary, while studying  music at both the New York School of Music and the Victor Stott Music Conservatory.

Since 1959, Canton Wetzler had dedicated his life to Congregation   Shaarey Zedeck by serving as musical leader, teacher, community  spokesperson, and spiritual advisory to people of all ages.Most of all, through music, Cantor Wetzler has brought many people in East Lansing closer to God. Whether it is a weekly service or a personal experience like a wedding or a Bar or Bat Mizvah, Cantor Wetzler has offered his voice though song to many people through the years. With his guidance, families and individuals have gained a better understanding of loss and a better appreciation of joy.Cantor Wetzler is a leader in the greater Lansing community, but his special dedication to his Congregation and religious belief has been unparalleled. I wish him the very best in his future endeavors and I know he will relish the additional time with his wife Miriam, his two daughters, and his two grandchildren.
