in

amazing and transformational ways throughout its history.

The Judaism that we practice today is very different from the Judaism that practiced 500 years ago, let alone 3,000 years ago.

And in spite of those changes, or maybe because of those changes, the religion has continued to thrive even as the world has changed dramatically around it.

And similarly, the 92nd Street Y has been an organization that has been nimble and has embraced change and has sought to evolve throughout its history.

And we continue to do that.

And when it comes to our relationship to the Jewish community, what I'm seeing happening is a few different things.

And maybe relatedly, maybe distinctly, I also want to talk about, I want to hear if Seth could wave the magic wand and have the Jewish world you know, in 20 years that you've contributed to? What does that look like? So let me try to take both of them.

passion right I mean it would it would have to be for you to make like I'm trying to understand that shift and that change and why that was interesting to them too you know

well so I think there are a couple of different questions in that so first of all It was a combination of two things.

One is I love classical music.

It's been a part of my life since I was very young.

I was not a very good violinist.

Me neither, but I was too.

And my father in particular always played classical music around our house.

So Taking COVID out for a second, in terms of how things have evolved and the changes you've seen, let's say in the past decade, what do you feel most proud of?
