Featuring Abby
Blumofe
What is your major, and why did you decide to pursue this degree?
Integrative Neuroscience because I find the subject very interesting and have wanted to pursue medicine since I was a child.
Why did you choose Binghamton University?
Coming from California I get this question a lot. I always jokingly say that I wanted to have seasons for the first time, but the main reason is the strong Jewish life.
Where are you from? Where did you go to high school?
I am from Los Angeles, and I went to Shalhevet.
What do you love about Jewish life on campus?
I love being involved in running events and being PR chair for Chabad so I can spread the word and encourage others to attend.
What's your favorite Jewish food?
My mom's chicken soup.
Do you have any siblings?
I have a younger brother and a younger sister.
What is your favorite food?
Vegan Cauliflower Pizza (Yes I have a recipe for anyone who wants)
If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be and why?
Honey bunches of oats because it's a classic and everyone likes it.
What is your favorite Jewish childhood memory?
My aunt asked my dad to sing Bilvavi at her wedding and it was around the time when I was just born, and to practice he would sing it to me before bed every night. It then became a tradition with my other siblings and was called our bedtime song.
What is your favorite Chabad experience?
First Friday night of Freshman year getting to know each other, including the people I still consider my closest friends.
