-My feeling always was that

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,066
Bernstein wrote music

as an outlet 
for his belief system,

for his philosophy about life.

44
00:02:31,666 --> 00:02:39,333
And his goal really was to 
connect all the dots in life

45
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:41,733
so that, in a piece of music,

46
00:02:41,733 --> 00:02:44,133
it's not really just 
a piece of music.

47
00:02:44,133 --> 00:02:46,833

his last symphony, 
the Third Symphony,

52
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:06,233
is a very complex piece

53
00:03:06,233 --> 00:03:11,233
because it's not only about 
the world he was inhabiting,

54
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:15,400
it's also about 
the world of his family.

55
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,766
You know, of course his father 
was deeply religious,

56
00:03:18,766 --> 00:03:22,733
and he comes from a very, 
very, very serious,

57
00:03:22,733 --> 00:03:26,833
I would say even heavy, Jewish 
tradition and culture.

58
00:03:26,833 --> 00:03:33,500
And he had to try to find 
his way with that.

59
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:37,233
I'm not Jewish, so it's a little 
bit difficult for me

60
00:03:37,233 --> 00:03:38,866
to really understand,

61
00:03:38,866 --> 00:03:43,500
I think, the cultural 
context of the Kaddish.

62
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:50,133
But I do know that it's 
the most important prayer

63
00:03:50,133 --> 00:03:52,033
in the Jewish tradition.

64
00:03:52,033 --> 00:03:57,600
And it's a prayer 
that not only remembers people

65
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,066
who have passed,

66
00:03:59,066 --> 00:04:03,233
but it also celebrates 
the cycle of life.

67
00:04:03,233 --> 00:04:09,433
So it ends up being a prayer 
of positivity

68
00:04:09,433 --> 00:04:11,600
rather than of mourning.

69
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,633
-Kaddish, I looked up what that 
word means in general,

70
00:04:15,633 --> 00:04:18,866
and I saw that it was a prayer 
for the dead

71
00:04:18,866 --> 00:04:20,800
without 
actually mentioning death,

72
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,333
