Every graduate here has had the deep pleasure of sitting with others and debating the meaning of a text. Every graduate, I suspect, could offer a story — a Me’ah moment, like my moment in Rome [before the Arch of Titus] or at Havdalah service, that brings the world into a sharp, new focus. We students are changed for this learning, and I can think of no greater tribute to our teachers than to say: we are changed. Thank you.”
