 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO HONOR AND CONGRATULATE THE MEMBERS OF BETH SHALOM
 SYNAGOGUE AS THEY CELEBRATE THEIR ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY AS THE ONLY
 CONSERVATIVE SYNAGOGUE IN RICHLAND COUNTY.

   02/08/05  House  Introduced, adopted, sent to Senate HJ-5
   02/09/05  Senate Introduced, adopted, returned with concurrence SJ-18

TO HONOR AND CONGRATULATE THE MEMBERS OF BETH SHALOM SYNAGOGUE AS THEY CELEBRATE THEIR ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY AS THE ONLY CONSERVATIVE SYNAGOGUE IN RICHLAND COUNTY.

Whereas, Beth Shalom Synagogue was established in 1905 with only nine families and has grown to over three hundred forty families and is now housed in its third synagogue building; and

Whereas, the site of the first synagogue was affectionately known throughout Columbia as the "Big Apple", and will be the site of the reception following the final centennial event; and

Whereas, Beth Shalom Synagogue has been an integral part of the greater Columbia Community, with many of its members holding positions of leadership in the City of Columbia and the South Carolina General Assembly; and

Whereas, Beth Shalom Synagogue is held in high regard by the citizens of Columbia for its ethic of service to others; and

Whereas, in honoring this milestone, Beth Shalom Synagogue will be hosting several events throughout the year: A Shabbat Centennial during the weekend of February 4-5, a centennial gala celebration on March 12, a meeting of the South Carolina Jewish Historical Society on September 9-10, and a Time Capsule Dedication on November 6; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the South Carolina General Assembly to pause in their deliberations to recognize and honor the members of Beth Shalom Synagogue as they celebrate their synagogue's one hundredth anniversary. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, honor and congratulate the members of Beth Shalom Synagogue as they celebrate their one hundredth anniversary as the only conservative synagogue in Richland County.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the congregation of Beth Shalom Synagogue.
