Jewish Bearcat of the Week
Featuring Lauren Grosz

What year are you in school?
I am a Senior! 

What is your major, and why did you decide to
pursue this degree? 

My major is Psychology with a minor in Education. I have always been fascinated with how the brain works and how people function both on behavioral and cognitive levels! I love what I study and I am excited to see where it takes me after college!

What is your favorite book? Why?
I’ve never been a big reader but I do enjoy either the Harry Potter series or Goodnight Moon. Always depends on my mood. 

Where are you from?  Where did you go to high school?
I’m from Queens, NY and I went to Schechter Long Island. 

What do you love about Jewish life on campus?
I love that Jewish life on campus makes you feel comfortable. It can be very difficult being away from home and having a great Jewish life at Bing makes it a little bit easier! I love how welcoming Chabad is and how they truly make me feel safe and supported. 

Do you have any siblings?
I am an only child! 

What is your favorite Jewish food?  
My favorite Jewish food would have to be either matzo ball soup with noodles or latkes with sour cream and applesauce. 

What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is any good pasta dish or sushi. 

If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be and why?
I would have to say fruit loops. Even though they are all the same flavor, they have different colors because sometimes they like to switch things up while staying true to who they are, but in general, they’re a classic to always have around. 

What is your favorite Chabad experience?
I love going to Friday night dinners at Chabad. It’s something I look forward to every week!

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

Suppose we were handed a red pen and an eraser, and told we could rewrite reality. If the storyline wouldn’t look so nice, we could change that. Even if the outcome is what we deserve and what logically follows by our actions, it could still be edited out.

We all have such a pen: Our confidence in G‑d’s kindness. Trust in Him, believe it will be good, and He will make it so.

Is it fair? Is it justified?

Yes. Because if you can trust so strongly, you have already been transformed.
