Featuring Zev Blumenthal

What is your major, and why did you decide to pursue this degree?
I am a Computer Engineering Major. I decided to pursue a degree in computer engineering because I always loved working with technology and exploring the ever changing industry.

Why did you choose Binghamton University?
I chose Binghamton University because of the vibrant Jewish community that was accompanied by a high level education.

What is your favorite book? Why?
That's funny... I'm allergic to books...

Where are you from? Where did you go to high school?
I am from Skokie, IL and I attended Niles North High School, my local public high school.

What do you love about Jewish life on campus?
I love the sense of community on campus and the support that the Jewish students provide for one another.

Do you have any siblings?
I have two older sisters and a younger brother. My older sister is a Binghamton Alum!

What is your favorite Jewish food?
Refer to the question below... alright maybe Shawarma if there is no pizza around.

What is your favorite food?
I know it's pretty classic but Pizza all the way. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner.
Like shampoo lather, rinse, repeat.

If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be and why?
Refer to the question above.

What is your favorite Chabad experience?
One of my favorite experiences is helping serve food Friday night and Shabbat lunch.
The staff in the kitchen is the best and it is always a fun time. Stop by and say hi!

What's your favorite lockdown experience?
My favorite lockdown experience was taking a drive around downtown Chicago while it was so empty. It was surreal to see such a busy city so still and empty.

How do you enjoy spending your free time?
I enjoy spending my free time with friends outdoors. If i can't get outdoors, I enjoy learning new skills or computer programs related to engineering.

What do you look forward to when coming to Chabad?

SOUL COFFEE

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

Never underestimate the power of a simple, pure deed done from the heart.

The world is not changed by men who move mountains, nor by those who lead the revolutions, nor by those whose purse strings tie up the world.

Dictators are deposed, oppression is dissolved, entire nations are transformed by a few precious acts of beauty performed by a handful of unknown soldiers.

As Maimonides wrote in his code of law, “Each person must see himself as though the entire world were held in balance and with a single deed he could tip the scales.”
