In his final exhortation to the class of 2010, Oren drew together all the threads of his speech. He had traced the dream-responsibility nexus from Biblical Joseph to Moses to Herzl to Louis Brandeis to the young Americans who built Kibbutz Ein HaShofet during the Great Depression on the Fourth of July. Their motto was the same charge Moses gave to Joshua: 'Be strong. Be courageous.' Oren urged the graduates to pursue their wildest ambitions — whether teaching in an inner-city school, building a clinic in Africa, developing the world's smallest microchip, or serving as President of the United States. The fulfillment of those dreams would bring the greatest challenges, but also the inestimable privilege that comes with serving others.
