What is your major, and why did you decide to pursue this degree?
I am majoring in Accounting and Quantitative Finance along with a minor in Spanish. I choose these majors because I wanted something business and math related and I added Spanish to continue practicing the language to communicate with more people outside the U.S..
Where are you from? Where did you go to high school?
I am from Great Neck, NY and I went to Great Neck North High School.
What do you love about Jewish life on campus?
I love attending the various Chabad programming. It brings all of the Jewish students on campus together and it provides great sense of community where everyone can feel at home.
Do you have any siblings?
I have a younger sister, Julia who is a freshman at the University of Delaware.
What is your favorite Jewish food?
Schnitzel
What is your favorite food?
Challah
If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be and why?
I would probably be cookie crisp. I don't really like the cereal, but I love to bake and eat cookies and sweets. Also, I do like milk with my chocolate chip cookies.
What is your favorite Jewish childhood memory?
Watching everyone dance on the tables for Simchat Torah at temple. It was always a fun environment and I got to stay up much much later than usual as a kid.
What is your favorite Chabad experience?
Helping out in the kitchen every Friday morning with Rifky to prepare food for the upcoming Shabbat dinners. Whether it's cutting vegetables, shaping the matzah balls, braiding challah, or even setting the tables, it's a nice break from schoolwork and a good start to the day.
What's your favorite lockdown experience?
My favorite experience is probably challenging my friend to a tennis match every morning in the summer and winning almost every time. His name is Ethan Dilmanian for those wondering.
