The Huge Jewish Community!
Where are you from? Where did you go to high school?
I’m from Fort Lauderdale, FL, and I went to the American Heritage School.
What do you love about Jewish life on campus?How big and plentiful it is!
Especially in times like these, I’m glad Bing hasn’t really experienced horrible antisemitism like other schools have, and our positive impact and pride on campus definitely plays a part in that!
Do you have any siblings?
I’m unfortunately an only child.
What is your favorite book? Why?
I love The Man in the High Castle is such an interesting alternate history/sci-fi. I’ve read it many times, and then when the TV show came out, I was so happy.
Do you have a hobby? Why do you love it?
Researching my family tree! It’s so cool to learn about my ancestors and where they came from!

I love a good noodle kugel.

Pizza (even though I’ve been told I don’t know good pizza because I’m from Florida.)
