Dear all,
Our family visited the Getty Museum this past weekend. While Ron and I were eager to expose our kids to some great works of the world, we quickly learned that they had a different understanding of what constitutes “art.”
Mind you, they did enjoy the sculptures and the paintings, the gardens and the architecture. But they also reminded us that sitting and just looking out a huge window can be magnificent as well. They reminded us that frolicking in the outdoor spaces is important for our hearts. And they reminded us that ice cream is an important incentive after a long day.
So yes – we all appreciated the destination of the Getty. But more important, we appreciated each moment in time of the journey. (We’ll leave out the part about the tired kids during the car ride home!)
With love and Shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
