Uh I think uh relevance is really important. I don't think it's enough just tell certainly the younger generation know we were murdered, we were slaughtered, this happened. They have to understand why does it matter? What are the lessons? What what does it mean to me? It cannot be only although Yadmashan is a sacred place. It's not enough you know you can't just expect people to come to the mountain. You've got to bring the content to the people and you have to make it relevant. make it relevant. and welcome to Shark Tank, the podcast about the challenges and opportunities of being a bentora in the workforce with Yomashawa. Coming up this week, I sat down with Lawrence Burian, the COO of Live Golf and the son of a Holocaust survivor named Andrew Burian. Before joining Live Golf, Lawrence held a number of senior positions in Madison Square Garden Company, the company in charge of not only the MSG Arena, but also the Knicks, the Rangers, the MSG TV network, and lots more.
