We toured Brooklyn Bethel with Jay on the second day in NY. Built in Brooklyn Heights (when it wasnt so popular) there are amazing views of Manhattan across the river. The scale of the work done here is amazing. Such organisation too. Printing, cooking, cleaning, laundry, organising, writing....It never ceases to amaze how much work goes into keeping every running all around the world.
Quite a bit of nostalgia as well as many of the facilities such as the printing have been moved to farms in Wallkill. It seemsa little sad as the bulk of the work is slowly moving out from the Brooklyn location to the other locations.
After lunch we went into Manhattan to the Lincoln Center to watch a production of South Pacific. Thanks to Frances and Bill for organising the tickets for us (and doing an excellent job on the drums too).
We rushed back to catch the meeting in Hindi with Jay and Aubrey. I didnt really undstand anything but it was a nice experience to meet the friends in the Hindi congregation.
