I met Senator Lautenberg and Senator Menendez, the two New Jersey State senators. It was really fun. My dad, David Waizer, and grandfather, Jonas Waizer, got honored at the Second Annual Legislative Breakfast of the Agudath Israel of NJ on Sunday, September 13 at the Regency Jewish Heritage in Somerset, where a lot of people spoke.
I liked Lautenberg’s speech especially. He spoke the best in my opinion. Lautenberg and Menendez spoke about helping Israel. Menendez also talked about supporting Jewish causes. Some of the speeches were about the government giving more money to private schools. My favorite part of the speeches was when my grandfather mentioned my name and made me stand up in front of everybody. He said he hoped I would be a future leader in the community.
I think meeting Senators Menendez and Lautenberg was very cool because they’re the most important politicians I have met. They were very nice. I heard that Senator Lautenberg cast more votes than any other New Jersey senator in the senate because he’s been around for a while. It was cool to see my dad honored and speak in front of hundreds of people. I felt proud of my dad.
