Amid much happiness and no small measure of tears graduating seniors as well as their younger peers said good-bye "for now" at the last Shabbat of this year. A reception preceded the class picture which was followed by candle lighting and services. During dinner many seniors spoke movingly about their time in Binghamton and what Chabad meant to them. We look forward to welcoming them back home as alumni.

Incredible. Transforming. Unforgettable. Fun filled. These words don't even begin to describe the birthright trip taken by a bus load of Binghamton students this Summer. Led by Rabbi Levi Slonim, the group enjoyed 10 days of trips, new Jewish experiences, and bonding in Israel that can only be described as truly "coming home." We can't wait to go back, but until then the closest thing to Friday night at the Wall is Chabad!
