Scherer closed his speech with the concept of 'tov' — the Hebrew word from Genesis that is typically translated as 'good' but which he argued means something far richer: a moment when the essence of who you are gets expressed fully into the world. He illustrated this with a story of his son Asa playing Rachmaninoff — the house wasn't reverberating with the piano or the composition, but with Asa himself. In the same way, whatever job or organization a graduate enters is just the piano; the music happens when they bring their full self to it. His parting challenge: 'Go for tov' — lean your ladder against the right wall, and it's never too late to begin.
