  Mr. SHERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today and ask you and my colleagues 
to join me in celebrating the 50th wedding anniversary of Rabbi Harold 
and Malkah Schulweis.
  Harold and Malkah were introduced at a seminary prom. Harold was so 
captivated, he immediately pursued her. A short time later they had 
their first date and on the second date he asked her to marry him. She 
said no, but a year later they were happily engaged to be married on 
June 22, 1947.
  Their life together began in a tiny New York apartment. The war had 
just ended and they were beginning their lives together with nothing 
but the desire to build a life of love and dedication to one another. 
It is for this dedication which I honor them today.
  When Malkah became pregnant with their first born, Seth, they decided 
it was time for a change and they moved to Oakland, CA. Eleven months 
later their second child, Ethan, was born, followed by their only 
daughter Alisa. Today, they are the proud grandparents of 12 wonderful 
grandchildren.
  Their children recall great memories which illustrate the love which 
Harold and Malkah share. She has opened the aesthetic world of art and 
music for him, while he has broadened her spiritual horizons--they 
complete each other.
  Few words come close to describing the love that Harold and Malkah 
share, but I think Robert Frost said it best when he said ``Love at the 
lips was touch, as sweet as I could bear; and once that seemed too 
much; I lived on air.''
  It is an honor to join the family and friends of Harold and Malkah 
Schulweis as they reach this milestone and celebrate their 50th wedding 
anniversary.
