Featuring Ari Gurvitch
 What is your major, and why did you decide to pursue this degree?
Cinema -- I'm a pretty creative person and love making videos that make people happy and laugh.
Do you have any siblings?
Yes, 4 - 2 full: Elijah (Is in and out of miluim and traveling the world and learning when he isn't) and Sandy (My twin sister who is also graduating this year at IDC in communications - whatever that means) the two of them live in Hertzillia around the corner from each other. 2 half: Ellin (who lives with her husband and three kids in Modiin, 2 of which are preparing for the army - I
know crazy) and Alexandra (has worked at so many different fashion companies including Glamour, Self, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar as an editor, head of creative development, model, and is Executive producer) - you can see that the creativity (and good looks) is in our blood.
What is your favorite book? Why?
Harry Potter and Hunger game series - no need for explanation.
Do you have a hobby? Why do you love it?
I play different instruments and make music. Music has just become a part of me and it's something I can't live without. I'm literally always walking to the beat of my own drum.
What is your favorite Jewish food?
Bread..I mean Challah.
What is your favorite food?
Pasta (mini penne is by far the best shape.)
What's your favorite Jewish holiday and why?
Purim - it's an excuse for me to act as crazy as I do on a normal basis and have it be considered normal.
If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be and why?
Contrary to popular belief: Trix because I'm a child.
What's a quote or saying that you like?
"Money is for poor people" -GK
What is your favorite Jewish childhood memory?
Me and my sibling burying our faces in the couch waiting for my mama and papa to bring down our Chanukah gifts.
How do you envision yourself in twenty years?
Directing movies and having a beautiful family.
What is your favorite Chabad experience?
The silence every week right before you hear the infamous "Yom Hashishi."
What's your favorite lockdown experience?
Writing and recording a whole rap about Macbeth without ever having read the book (got my group an A+)
The picture is Ari with his baby cousin - who is a Binghamton baby (Nathan Gurvitch - son of Benjamin Gurvitch - BING '20 and Malka (Itzkowitz) Gurvitch - BING '21

SOUL COFFEE
Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

|
 The One Above did not want His creation to be a sort of simple oneness, homogeneous and uniform, with no distinction between one creation and the next. On the contrary, He desired a multitude—a tremendous multitude, to the point that we exclaim, “How many are Your works, oh G‑d!”
And not in number alone. They are diverse, and their diversity has great meaning. Upon beholding any one of those creations we can exclaim, “How great are Your works, oh G‑d!” Because these differences are not insignificant, arbitrary differences. Rather, the uniqueness of each individual creation is a commentary all of its own on the greatness of its Creator.
So too, it is the differences among human beings, not their sameness, that makes them precious in their Creator’s eyes.
