Jewish Bearcat of the Week
Featuring Juli Berman

What is your major, and why did you decide to pursue this degree?
I am a biology and statistics double major. I chose statistics because I really love how statistics can tell a whole story with complicated and confusing datasets. The biology major is because I want a background in biology to go into biostatistics.

Why did you choose Binghamton University?
For the Jewish community and campus social experience.

What is your favorite book? Why?
I really enjoyed reading The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks. It's a really interesting book that touches on things such as misogyny, racism, and bodily autonomy. Plus, lots of interesting scientific history.

Where are you from?  Where did you go to high school?
I'm from Riverdale, NY, and I went to SAR High School.

Do you have any siblings?
I have a younger sister and a younger brother

What is your favorite Jewish food?  
Probably chicken soup with matzah balls!

What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is French fries, because it's impossible to make bad French fries and I'm always willing to eat them.

What is your favorite Jewish childhood memory?
Hearing the megillah and booing whenever I heard Haman's name.

What is your favorite Chabad experience?
Helping Rivky make challah in the kitchen on Thursdays. (I just wish I was better at waking up early so I could go more often.)

What's your favorite lockdown experience?
My favorite lockdown experience was playing games remotely with my friends.

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

Everything we see about us is but a reflection of that which is above.

A king in our world reflects dominion above.

The sweetness of a fruit reflects the sweetness of the wisdom above.

The form of the human body reflects the inner structure of the cosmos, so that each limb and organ parallels a particular divine force.

Each of these things descends from its G‑dly place into our material realm to take tangible form—so that we can grasp those G‑dly concepts from which they extend.

Even those inventions that arose only in the modern era were hidden all this time within the Creation, waiting for us to discover them and reconnect them with their G‑dly source and meaning.
