I chose Binghamton for the large and welcoming Jewish community. My mom went here and she made friends for a lifetime, she even spent last weekend with her freshman year roommate.

SOUL COFFEE

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

He doesn’t need you to report on the dirt in His world. He put it there—and not because He has an interest in it.

He sent you here to search out the jewels hidden in the mud, clean them and polish them until they shine.

And when you bring them to Him, the angels make a crown of them for Him, saying, “Look what Your children have made for You from the mud!”
