Q: Aside from your wedding day, what is your proudest happiest moment?<\/b><\/p>\n
I would split proudest and happiest, and I think they are two different things.<\/p>\n
Happiest, besides my wedding day, would have to be the birth of my daughter. Although she’s been a handful, she has brought changes to my life and to me that are wonderful.<\/p>\n
Proudest is a lot harder. I think pride comes from being recognized that what you do has value and makes a significant contribution to people’s lives. It is really hard to think of a single incident. There are a few very proud moments, however. First would be when I was selected for a stint as conference chair for ACSAC<\/a>. This was (to me) recognition by my peers of what I do. There are similar incidents back in the days of evaluations. Second would be the High Holy Days I orchestrated when I was Religious Practices Chair at TBT. That was a big event, and seeing it come off very smoothly made me feel very good. However, recalling that makes me think of something else I am very proud of: the tot shabbat<\/i> program that I ran with Rosalyn Berg at TBT. We did a wonderful job of teaching children Judaism, which made a difference for a lifetime.<\/p>\n Do you have a question you’ve always wanted to ask me?
