As I look back and reflect on the past four years many great experiences come to mind. Shabbat afternoons in Oneida, arts festivals and snowboarding, painting and researching, late night coffee runs and Wal-Mart trips, and of course lots and lots of laughs. Its all been amazing! Coming from a yeshiva high school I chose Binghamton because I wanted to leave the traditional orthodox bubble to find a purer and stronger Jewish identity. Some people may have thought going to Binghamton would cause the exact opposite of this but they were wrong. It was within our little brain and downtown Binghamton, independent of my easy Jewish life that I found the greatest strength and encouragement to believe and practice my faith. In large part this strength is reflective of the different people I met at BU. I won’t name anyone because I could just go on forever about each of you but, as all my friends and of course Kenny, know, you have each taught me an unbelievable amount about life, friendship, how to question and how to act. I respect all of you for your unique voice and I love and will miss you all very much. In a large part, my relationships would not be nearly as influential as they were if it weren’t for taking part in Jewish activities like Hillel and Chabad. All the services and meals that were always ready and waiting for me, all the classes and events – they exposed me to many different friends and helped me deepen my appreciation and understanding of what Judaism is. I really feel lucky to have been a part of such a close and yet large Jewish community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chabad for the continuous love and support they provide. We are all very lucky to have you. And to all my friends it’s been a great time and I thank you for the experiences we have shared, congratulations and good luck with everything you choose hopefully we can all remain in contact many many years past our time at Binghamton. Shalom.
