I recently heard a great story from Rabbi Duvi Bensoussan titled “the Countdown” about something that happened a few years ago in Los Angeles, California.
To say that 2020 was “a year like no other” wouldn’t adequately describe these past twelve months. The year began with my bold efforts to expand our relationships with business partners and associates through creative events and venues. We had many ideas that we were eagerly anxious to deploy in the months ahead.
Our first endeavor was as the platinum sponsor of the Greater Bergen Board of Realtors Circle of Excellence celebration held at MetLife Stadium. The event recognized the elite real estate agents of Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic Counties in New Jersey. Walking on the field and networking with new and old agents was a mesmerizing experience that I didn’t realize would indeed be so cherished. I was one of the last people remaining as I dismantled our booth, looking at the big empty field, not knowing that all sporting fields and stadiums would soon become deserted.
