:35:04
- How upset are they?
- Let's just say
they're less than thrilled.
:35:08
-To be honest, we're less than thrilled.
-Okay, with what, specifically?
:35:12
With what, specifically?
:35:14
Well, with guided meditation,
specifically.
:35:17
With stand-up comedy sermons,
specifically.
:35:19
With your loose, improvisational style,
specifically.
:35:23
Okay, with people
actually enjoying services?
People-- People showing up at all?
:35:27
To be serenaded by
the Harlem-freaking-Gospel Choir?
:35:30
- At least they were praying.
- It was a hell of
an "Ein Keloheinu, " Lar.
:35:34
- It's not kosher, Rabbi Lewis!
- Larry, what does that mean?
:35:36
I have to tell you what kosher means?
Study your gemara!
:35:39
I mean, is this you too?
Do you feel the same way?
:35:42
It's not your ideas.
Your ideas are very good.
:35:46
But sometimes you're a little aggressive
in the execution.
:35:49
Yeah, but, Ben, come on!
I mean, I mean, it was working!
:35:52
I know, I know, I know, I know.
:35:54
- You like to shake things up,
and that's good.
- When it works, yeah.
:35:58
But you have to appreciate the fact
that a lot of people come here
for a sense of continuity.
:36:03
It's not just the board.
I-It's your congregation, Jake.
:36:08
Mrs-- Mrs Katz likes to sing the
"Ein Keloheinu" the way she knows it.
:36:12
- Tradition is not old habit.
- All right, I'm-- I'm--
:36:15
- No. It's comforting to people.
- Okay, but I'm not interested
i-in baby-sitting Mrs Katz.
:36:19
I-I wanna-- I wanna push people
to grow and expand.
:36:22
- Otherwise, what are we doing?
- I know, I know, I know.
:36:25
But you have to be patient
with them.
:36:27
I think you'll get a-- you'll find
that people will go a lot farther...
:36:30
if you-- if they feel
they're being led and not pushed.
:36:37
Good for you, Anna.
Oh, I'm so proud of you.
:36:40
No more of this
"woman behind the man" shit.
:36:42
Half the men I know
are completely unworthy
of the opportunities they've had.
:36:46
You know, as a woman on your own,
trying to make your mark...
:36:49
what do you do with that victory energy
at the end of the day, you know?
:36:52
- I mean, don't you want
someone to share it with?
- Well, do what they do. Take lovers.
:36:56
- I've had more dates than Jake.
- Mom.
:36:59
It's true.
