As we approach Purim, the Jewish holiday that begins at sundown this Saturday, March 11, the Jewish Museum revisits four important speeches at our 31st Annual Purim Ball honoring Chairman Wang Jian, HNA Group, philanthropist Fanya Gottesfeld Heller, and Jewish Museum collection artist Deborah Kass. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg kicked off the night with these timely words ... 
As two of the oldest living cultures on the planet, both the Chinese and Jewish people have faced struggle and adversity over long histories — and yet preserved and maintained our holidays, our values, and pride in our history — all while remaining fully engaged in the world of today and looking toward the future. One of many common themes between us is the recognition that success is accompanied by a responsibility to improve the lives of those who may be less fortunate. While the value of family is a universal one, it is especially so in the Chinese and Jewish cultures — so it makes me happy to see many members of the Jewish Museum’s family here tonight. And from different generations as well. Inter-generational bonds are also key to the success of our cultures. Elders provide the next generation with opportunity and wisdom while holding young people to the highest standards, which the younger generation honors by showing respect and making their very best effort to take advantage of the gift of opportunity they have been offered. Generations stay connected in our cultures no matter the distance and no matter the differences. China just completed its New Year’s celebration, during which a record 800 million Chinese people, over 2.5 times the population of the United States, traveled to be with their families. Like the Chinese New Year, just recently completed, the celebration of Purim, just beginning, is both serious and at the same time lighthearted. This way of being in the world — to be serious about life and facing its hardships and responsibilities, but doing so with joy, color and celebration as well is something that both cultures share. And both cultures highly value education. We know that education determines the ability of the younger generation to succeed and to contribute. That’s why I’m so pleased to see so many younger people here tonight — and I know we will be joined by many more later, when the after-party begins. Both cultures encourage their young people to learn, to engage, to seek new ideas, and to give back to their communities.
