I think it’s more segmented than it used to be because the Chabad and the – the fundamentalist Judaism is growing very strong. Almost all our synagogues – orthodox synagogues have Chabad or Lubavitch rabbis. So that’s growing very strong. At the same time, the temple and the reform movement is also growing. It’s the middle that’s flailing around a bit. And – but organisations like us seem to fill a role there. Where people are more culturally Jewish than religiously. And we still have an enormous amount of kids going to Jewish schools so there is a need, but they all – the different schools that reflect different attitudes to being Jewish. So I would see it as slightly more segmented than when we were younger.
