50 Years of Born to Run
Rabbis Cosgrove and Zuckerman, both “Born in the USA,” love Bruce Springsteen. The rabbis joke with Cantor Schwartz, who hails from “The Promised Land,” that he really doesn’t get the Boss, that he’s just “Dancing in the Dark.” This past Rosh Hashanah, the Cantor proved that he is not “Blinded by the Light,” but rather perfectly capable of celebrating the 50th anniversary of an American Classic: that he is also “Born to Run.”
