(Page A21 Please) I, Too, Am America By RABBI JEFFREY LIPSCHULTZ July 4, our country’s birthday, is here and my thoughts turn to what it means to be Ameri- can. Many times in the last few years we have wondered what it is to be an American and what our role is in contemporary society. As an American Jew, I feel especially grateful for this country that housed my family from op- pression and protected us from the genocidal world outside our shores. In our love for our beautiful country we want to see it as perfect. It is sometimes hard to recognize aspects of her imperfections. I often wonder why I think this nation is great and for me it is because of our unresolved struggle for Liberty. When my father was very young his parents moved him to Texas in 1945. He remained there until he was nine and then moved to Arizona. In my father’s life he saw so much change in this country. Born during the war, my mother still has one of her ration cards from when she was born that reveals the struggle that united the citizens of our coun- try together to preserve liberty. But there is also a dark revelation that comes in their ear- ly years. My parents both lived through the troubled times of the civil rights era, and my father saw it fi rst hand in Texas in the early years of his life. As I grew older and wanted to talk about the changes of that turbulent time in my par- ents’ life they would say that they were proud to have marched for civil rights and to see our country make the shift to equality for all. But my father never spoke of those early years in Texas when he was a child. I tried many times to ask him about it, but he always would say “Jeff, I don’t want to talk about it.” I often wondered why until I read the following poem by Langston Hughes. I often think of it every year around July 4. “I, too, sing America.” I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, “Eat in the kitchen,” Then. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, Besides, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." I, too, am America From the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 I have often thought of that poem in my (Page A57 Please) Index...See Page A3 A2 www.CapeMayCountyHerald.com Herald Newspapers July 4 2012 THE #1 MATTRESS COMPANY IN THE WORLD - SINCE 1957 - OVER 700 LOCATIONS HELD OVER FINAL TODAYDAYS! 9-7 SPECIAL HOLIDAYUP HOURS TO * Every Mattress in the Store! *excludes Tempur-Pedic & Beautyrest Legend SPECIAL PURCHASE UP UP $ TO 65%OFF TO TWIN • FIRM 400 $ 99 Posturepedic ® SAVE Gift Card EACH PIECE QUEEN SET • FIRM UP TO Your Choice: $ List Set 499 UP TO Best Buy • Toys R Us 99LIST SALE 75%OFF $ Target • Home Depot Full set $759 $24999 Walmart • Lowe’s $ $ 99 600 Queen set 799 299 And More! $ 99 on Beautyrest Legend or King set $1799 $69999 LIST See store for details. $1599 Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme sets.

When we engage in conversation about our individual vulnerabilities, we discover a realistic, but often beautiful mundaneness to life that is often lost. Channeling the mundane into art and community helps us to better understand the nuances of humanity. This gives the opportunity for us to connect through storytelling— using narrative as an outlet to express our feelings of grief, hope, and sacrifice.

  • As a Performer, Songwriter and Producer, Richard Marx’S Nearly Three-Decade-Long Career Has Had Innumerable of Highlights
    As a performer, songwriter and producer, Richard Marx’s nearly three-decade-long career has had innumerable of highlights. The Chicago native has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, starting with his self-titled debut which went to #8 and spawned four Top 5 singles, including the chart-topping “Hold on to the Nights,” with “Don’t Mean Nothing” earning him a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. The follow-up, 1989’s Repeat Offender, was even more successful, hitting #1 and going quadruple-platinum with two #1 singles in “Satisfied” and “Right Here Waiting.” When both Rush Street (with two #1 AC hits in “Keep Coming Back” and “Hazard”) and Paid Vacation (with its #1 AC hit, “Now and Forever”) went platinum, Marx achieved a seven-year string of triumphs that rivaled any in pop-rock music history. To this day, he is the only male artist in history to have his first seven singles reach the Top 5 on the Billboard charts. For most artists, that would be impressive enough – but Richard Marx didn’t stop there, launching a second, very successful, incarnation as a songwriter and producer, with songs like “To Where You Are,” the first hit single from Josh Groban’s debut album, as well as the NSYNC smash, “This I Promise You.” He went on to earn a 2004 Song of the Year Grammy for co-authoring Luther Vandross’ “Dance with My Father.” Across all formats, Marx has scored an amazing total of 14 #1 singles (including Keith Urban’s #1 smash “Long Hot Summer”) both as a performer and songwriter/producer, making him a true multi-talented threat who continues to challenge himself and his fans.

When the murder victim turns out to be Gabriel Treacy, a Dublin resident who had just arrived in America, however, she fl ies to the Emerald Isle to combine business with pleasure. As the investigation heats up, she fi nds scant time for the latter. The indomitable D’arcy, introduced by author Sa- rah Stewart Taylor last year in the critically acclaimed “Mountains Wild,” soon fi nds herself entangled in a case with threads that stretch from Long Island and Ireland to It- aly and war-torn Afghanistan. Treacy, it turns out, was an aid worker who once had been kidnapped, and subsequently rescued, in Afghanistan. And recently, he had been looking Taylor for a long-lost brother who had been torn from his family dur- ing Ireland’s stolen babies scandal.
