I am a Psychology major. I want to get a degree in psychology so that I can eventually work in a clinical setting as a practicing psychologist.

I chose Binghamton because I knew I would find amazing friends for life here. 

Where are you from?  Where did you go to high school?
I am from Manhattan and I went to Ramaz.

What do you love about Jewish life on campus?
I love that the Jewish life on campus is able to make Binghamton, which is so big, into a small community.

I have three siblings. Hannah who is 23, Lila who is 16, and Jake who is 11. 

What is your favorite food?
My favorite food at the moment is sushi.

My favorite Chabad experience was Fashion for a Cure. I loved how all the girls were cheering each other on. It was so beautiful!

SOUL COFFEE
Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

The ancient Book of Formation teaches that there is more to the universe than time and space. There is a soul.

Whatever is found in the universe’s soul is found somewhere in its space. And whatever is found in space, is found in time.

In the soul of the universe there is a consciousness from which all consciousness extends.

In space, there is the Land of Israel, a space from where all space is nurtured.

In time, there is Rosh Hashanah, a time from which all time is renewed.

It is not just a starting point, but a head, a new beginning of time, when a new consciousness enters our universe. As the head governs the body, so all that will transpire in the coming year is first conceived in these two days.
