Commemorating the opening of the Rabbi Samuel Karff Memorial Bridge in Houston.
This resolution commemorates the opening of the Rabbi Samuel Karff Memorial Bridge in Houston, named after a late rabbi who promoted civil rights and community unity at Texas' oldest Jewish congregation. The bridge, a $3 million pedestrian and cyclist crossing over Brays Bayou Greenway, connects neighborhoods and parks maintained by the Houston Parks Board. The Texas House passed this non-binding resolution on April 9, 2025, to honor Rabbi Karff's legacy of fostering equality and social justice. It does not create new laws or affect policy, as it is a ceremonial tribute.
