GLENDALE -- House of Representatives Chaplain Daniel P. Coughlin

presented Rabbi Carole Meyers of Temple Sinai of Glendale with a

certificate Thursday morning at the Capitol building in Washington D.C.

Meyers, who retired after 15 years of service at Temple Sinai in June,

opened Thursday’s House session with a prayer at the invitation of Rep.

Adam Schiff (D-Glendale).

Meyers was California’s first female solo Congregational rabbi.

She was invited to address the legislators based on her extensive

community involvement through Habitat for Humanity, the Glendale

Community Foundation, the Mayor’s Task Force on Hate Crime and the

Glendale Police Department.
